Oracle Service Bus 11g Development Cookbook

Overview of this book

Oracle Service Bus 11g is a scalable SOA integration platform that delivers an efficient, standards-based infrastructure for high-volume, mission critical SOA environments. It is designed to connect, mediate, and manage interactions between heterogeneous services, legacy applications, packaged solutions and multiple Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) instances across an enterprise-wide service network. Oracle Service Bus is a core component in the Oracle SOA Suite as a backbone for SOA messaging. This practical cookbook shows you how to develop service and message-oriented (integration) solutions on the Oracle Service Bus 11g. Packed with over 80 task-based and immediately reusable recipes, this book starts by showing you how to create a basic OSB service and work efficiently and effectively with OSB. The book then dives into topics such as messaging with JMS transport, using EJB and JEJB transport, HTTP transport and Poller transports, communicating with the database, communicating with SOA Suite and Reliable Message Processing amongst others. The last two chapters discuss how to achieve message and transport-level security on the OSB.

Introduction


In this chapter, we will cover the so called Poll-based transports, the File or FTP Transport, the Email Transport, as well as the File JCA adapter.

As the name implies, the File or FTP Transport can be used to do operations on files. When using the File Transport, the file needs to be local to the OSB Server or reachable via a file share, whereas when using the FTP Transport , the file can be on any FTP server reachable from the OSB. When using these transports on a proxy service, then the given location will be constantly polled for new files, and each file will be processed by the message flow of the proxy service. When the two transports are used on a business service, then a file will be written to the configured location upon invoking the business service.

The File JCA adapter allows treating the operation on a file as a service, which also allows for the reading of a file through a service invocation in the message flow of a proxy service.

The Email Transport supports both...
