Book Review: Do More with SOA Integration: Best of Packt (december 2011, various authors)
0Recently I received an electronic copy of a new publication from Packt Publishing, one of the most active publishing companies in the area of (Oracle related) SOA technology. I was asked to review this book – and having enjoyed various earlier Packt titles (such as the recent OSB Cookbook and SOA Suite 11g Developer book ), I gladly accepted this invitation.
The anthology format
This book is special in that it was never intended to be a single book: it is composed from chapters that were published before, in 8 different earlier publications by Packt. That in itself is an interesting premise: a ‘compendium’ or ‘a book formed by drawing existing content from several related Packt titles. In other words,
Jouw toekomst als Oracle professional AMIS informatieavond over jouw ontwikkelingspad (28 februari)
0Als je dit leest en je bent Oracle professional – ontwikkelaar of administrator – is de kans groot dat je jouw carriere bent gestart in de jaren ‘90, in het tijdperk van Oracle7, Oracle Forms en Client/Server applicaties – net voor de opkomst van Java, internet, mobiel en SOA. Misschien ligt je start daar nog wel voor en misschien ben je van een tikje later. Maar in elk geval: je hebt een solide fundament en al vele jaren ervaring in Oracle technologie.
Nu is het 2012. En de afgelopen jaren is de technologie in hoog tempo ontwikkeld. Web 2.0 applicaties en multi-tier architecturen dienden zich aan en SOA, Service Bus en BPM zijn opgekomen. Java is overal – en HTML 5 staat op het punt om Flash en Silverlight te verdringen, in desktop browsers en in mobiele devices. Eindgebruikers worden mondiger en veel-eisender en real-time, push-enabled, BI-gedreven dashboards en multi-channel takenlijsten worden in snel itererende agile-projecten gerealiseerd.
Oracle 11g Database doet alle simpele DBA taken zelf – en de uitdaging voor de Database Administrator is verschoven naar groter en interessanter, zeker als 24/7 beschikbaarheid, virtualisatie en de cloud als infrastructuur More >
WebLogic 12c: Use JPA in your Web Application
3Where as in WebLogic 11g JPA was not support by default, in WebLogic 12c it is the default persistency provider.JPA 2.0 is part of JAVA EE 6.
I was trying some new JAVA EE 6 features in WebLogic 12c, so here is a is a way to create a Web Application with JPA under WebLogic 12c
Some of the JAVA EE 6 specifications we’re already supported in WebLogic 11g. JPA 2.0 was one of them. Though version 1.0 was the default. 2.0 also worked.Unless an explicit <provider>…</provider> wass specified in the persistence.xml file of a deployed application, WebLogic 11g used OpenJPA/Kodo by default.
The default JPA provider setting is exposed via a new MBean: JPAMBean on the DomainMBean, and persists the configuration into the config.xml file.
Furthermore, you needed to install the patch QWG8 – Enable JPA 2.0 support on WebLogic Server.
To make it work on 11g, you had to use Oracle TopLink as the persistency provider like the image shows you in the WebLogic Admin Console
Now for 12c this is not needed anymore, TopLink will be the default JPA Provider
Review of Oracle Service Bus 11g Development Cookbook (Packt Publishing) by Edwin Biemond, Guido Schmutz, Eric Elzinga et. al.
3Recently I gained access to an electronic copy of the just released Oracle Service Bus 11g Development Cookbook, written by five authors – all experts on OSB and three personal acquaintances of mine. I was very interested in learning about the final result after hearing many intermediate comments during the writing process as well as reading the occasional remark on Twitter. Knowing Guido, Eric and Edwin and assuming the same expert level for the other two authors, I anticipated a very interesting read.
Below I will share my impressions from browsing through this solid 500+ page volume. Note: the homepage for the book can be found here: http://www.packtpub.com/oracle-service-bus-11g-development-cookbook/book .
Sending an email with attachment from Oracle BPEL
1In my previous post I described how to create a PDF file/report in Oracle BPEL (Create a JasperReport from Oracle BPEL).
Now I will describe how to sent this PDF file as attachment in an email.
Create a JasperReport from Oracle BPEL
0In my previous post I described how to create a Report (CDBooklet) with JasperReport in Java. Follow this link to take a look at the post ‘Using Java to create a report with the JasperReport java API’
For this new post I created a webservice wrapper around this reporting functionality and deployed it to a Weblogic application server. Here I will describe how to create a CDBooklet report with the Oracle SOA Suite 11g. First we have to determine the in- and output payload for the service. You can find a detailed description of this service in my previous post. (more…)
