This blog will explain how you could abstract technology behind a service so your main process will be kept clean of all kind of technology pollution like exception handling, technology adapters and correlation.

OWSM Custom x509 Assertion – Part 2 – Creating outgoing client assertion
In the previous post I explained how you can access the credential store and keystore using the configurations stored in the jsp-config.xml file. I also explained how you can read assertion properties. I put this code inside my base class CustomAssertion.java. This class has been repeated here below. In this post […]
OWSM Custom Assertion Part 1, Setting up the basic structure
With custom assertions you can create your own specific policies. There are a number of out-of-the box policy implementations already available implementing most of the common WS Security profiles and other non-security related policies like logging. If you want to create your own security policy one of the things you […]
OWSM Custom Policies – Still some sharp edges, so beware! don’t cut yourself.
In my last post I talked about using an out-of-the-box policy to sign your outgoing SOAP Message. Although it is not very well documented when you figure out how to configure the keystore and credential store it is quite simple to use. The problem is that the out-of-the-box policies need […]

Although this should not be so complicated I run into some problems I would like to share in this post. In general it is quit simple to generate a window service that starts a weblogic server. If you read the manual you see you need to create a script that […]
Installing OEL R5U5, Oracle 11gR2, OSB 11gR1 SP2 and SOA Suite 11gR1 SP2 on virtualbox 4.0
Some time ago I decided to take a look at virtualbox. After using some downloadable appliances I decided to install one for myself from scratch to have it configured just the way I want. This blog describes what I did to achieve this. I am still quit pleased with virtualbox. […]
Embedded Java in a 11g BPEL process
In an earlier blog my colleague Peter Ebell (link) explained how you can create an extension of collaxa.cube.engine.ext.BPELXExecLet to do your coding in a regular Java environment so you have code completion and validation. In 11g no improvements have been implemented and the Java embedded activity is still a pretty dumb […]
