This document discusses service oriented architecture and Oracle SOA Suite 11g. It describes SOA from business, architectural, and implementation perspectives. It outlines the key components of Oracle SOA Suite 11g, including BPEL, Mediator, Human Workflow, and how they are deployed and configured. The document also discusses how SOA Suite 11g runs on WebLogic Server 11g and can be managed through the Oracle Enterprise Manager console.

• SOA from a business point of view
BAD = Business agility
through decoupling!
• Better integration with other
enterprises
• Become a customer-centered
organization
• Reduce costs

Oracle SOA Suite 11g
• SOA from an architectural point of view
• Definition of "architecture":
"The fundamental organization of a system,
embodied in its components, their
relationships to each other and the
environment, and the principles governing its
design and evolution." ANSI/IEEE
• Interoperable and loosely coupled service
consumer, provider and registry
• Support Governance and Event Driven
Architecture

Oracle Fusion Middleware
and SOA Suite
• Put together through acquisition of
others (BEA, SUN, AmberPoint,
PeopleSoft, and others).
• These are intended to be best-of-
bread acquisitions.
• Based on Service Component
Architecture (SCA 2007).
• FMW 11g rolled out in July 2009.

Oracle Fusion Middleware
and SOA Suite
• The coupling between service components is very
loose - they do not need to know about each other.
• Changes in location of services called, reliability
requirements and security can be made without
changing components.
• Fusion middleware offers all middleware capabilities.
• FMW 11g runs on WebLogic Server 11g
• Fusion Middleware is not sold as a single product.
• Different suites are offered: BPM Suite, EDA Suite,
Governance Suite, SOA Suite

SOA Suite 11g Key
Components(1)
• First and foremost an SCA container
• Can run multiple instances of every composite
application in parallel
• Supports BPEL, Rules Engine Decision Service,
Human workflow service, Spring based Java
Beans, Mediator (transformation, routing,
protocol adaption) and BPMN tools to generate

SOA Suite 11g Key
Components (2)
• XML deployment descriptors are bundled
together into archives: Java Archive (JAR),
Service Assembly Archive (SAR), etc.
• May be configured with Oracle Service Bus
ESB. (BEA's AquaLogic Service Bus)
• Provides BAM (Business Activity Monitoring -
including real time data from security gates
and RFID.

9. 95-843: Service Oriented Architecture
SOA Suite 11g Key
Components (3)
• SOA Suite 11g runs inside WebLogic Server 11g.
• Several web applications are included for
configuring and monitoring FMW 11g runtime
operations.
• The most important is the The Oracle Enterprise
Manager Fusion Middleware Control Console.
• The main design time tool is JDeveloper 11g.
• Many Design Time at Run Time features -
DT@RT permits on the fly configurations.

10. 95-843: Service Oriented Architecture
SOA Suite 11g Key
Components (4)
• Meta Data Services (MDS) manage XSD documents,
mappings between different vocabularies in different
domains, reusable transformations, human task
definitions, security policies, business rule definitions,
business event definitions, etc.
• MDS provides a single interface across all repositories.
• The Application Development Framework (ADF) is a
Java Server Faces based framework for
building rich Java web applications. It was used to
create the Enterprise Manager. ADF Business
Components are used to publish SDO services on top of
the database.

Getting Started
• See Chapter 2 of “Oracle SOA
Suite 11g R1 Developer’s Guide”
• Build and deploy a simple BPEL
process.
• Include a Mediator in the same
Service Composite.
