Xenogenetics for PL/SQL: Infusing with Java Best Practices and Design Patterns (presentation at OOW 2010)

Xenogenetics for PL/SQL: Infusing with Java Best Practices and Design Patterns – Alex Nuijten and Lucas Jellema
PL/SQL is a venerable programming language that is both vital and very much alive. This session will discuss how we further rejuvenate and enhance the way we create PL/SQL programs. We’ll tap into the world of .NET, Java, and other modern programming language to do some cherry picking: what are the very best practices, concepts, and design patterns and how can we apply them to PL/SQL? We’ll explain and demonstrate dependency injection, the observer pattern based on listeners, aspect-oriented programming (AOP), the decorator and template pattern, use of user-defined nested types, and collections.

Configure SOA Suite 11g for sending email notifications with Google Mail
Aug 19th
One of the ways of the SOA Suite 11g for communicating with the outside world – apart of course from web service calls and interaction via technology adapters – is through the new User Messaging Service (UMS), a facility installed in the SOA Domain during installation of the SOA Suite. The UMS enables two-way communication between users (real people) and deployed applications. The communication can be via various channels, including Email, Instant Messaging (IM or Chat), SMS and Voice. UMS is used from several components in Fusion Middleware, for example BPEL, Human Workflow, BAM and WebCenter and can also be used from custom developed applications.
This article describes how the User Messaging Service can be configured to use Google Mail as its mail server for sending and receiving emails and how we can make use of that facility from a simple BPEL process. Note that the steps described in this article apply to any public email server – Yahoo, Hotmail, Lycos and others – as well as your own email server.
