Overview of this book

Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) is an architectural style created to address the challenges posed by today’s highly distributed, fast-paced computing. This goal is achieved by constructing business-focused software systems from loosely coupled, interoperable building blocks called Services. Organizations often fail to successfully implement SOA due to a lack of effective governance. Oracle SOA Governance is a comprehensive, service-orientated architecture governance solution that is designed to make the transition to SOA easier."Oracle SOA Governance 11g Implementation" illustrates how to successfully implement SOA governance in your organization. To achieve this, we describe how goals and objectives need to be clearly laid out and used to align governance processes with governance tools, governance tools with people, and people with the different roles and responsibilities that are required to implement effective governance."Oracle SOA Governance 11g Implementation" begins with a short but concise overview of SOA governance. We then go to explore real world examples, based on previous experiences and working solutions, in order to learn the concepts of Oracle SOA Governance Suite.We will also learn how to implement an OER-centric SDLC process to address your organizations design-time governance requirements. Next, we will explore OSR, and discover how to use it to expose service implementations to consumers based on UDDI concepts. We will explore the features available within Web Service Manager (WSM), Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM), and Business Transaction Manager (BTM). Finally, we discover how OER can be extended to govern Oracle Application Integration Architecture (AIA) implementations.Discover and learn how to use Oracle SOA Governance Suite to address your specific design-time and runtime governance challenges.

OSR functionality


Having covered the product architecture for OSR, let us now turn our attention to the functionality provided by the tool in support of SOA Governance.

OSR fully implements the UDDI specification providing an open standards framework for exposing services and their associated metadata. OSR is used to provide an interface by which selected OER content may be accessed or published and serves as an integration point for runtime tooling such as Oracle Service Bus, Oracle SOA Suite 11g, and JDeveloper. Oracle Service Bus can automatically publish and subscribe to new or modified assets.

OER and OSR are synchronized using the Oracle Registry Repository Exchange Utility.

While OSR fully implements the core UDDI V3 standard, Oracle has additionally provided key extensions to the base standard to provide support for enterprise deployments. These include:

  • Advanced security that provides a mechanism for defining granular access control for registered components. Component publishers can...
