SOA Suite 12c: Introducing the REST Adapter. Calling a RESTful service returning JSON
The REST Adapter is an important new feature of Oracle SOA Suite 12c. This new adapter allows easy calling/exposing of RESTful services (see https://technology.amis.nl/2014/05/14/what-is-rest/ for an introduction to REST) based on a WADL or configured manually. Not only does Oracle introduce the REST Adapter, but JSON support is also added in […]

What is REST?
REST (Representational State Transfer) is a term often used in software engineering when talking about services or other API’s. A lot of these so-called RESTful services or interfaces are not RESTful at all. Even the author of REST gets frustrated by the common misuse; http://roy.gbiv.com/untangled/2008/rest-apis-must-be-hypertext-driven: “I am getting frustrated by the number of people […]

JDeveloper 12c & ADF 12c: Launch of the next generation

The APEX of Business Value… or: the Business Value of APEX? Cloud takes Oracle APEX to new heights!
The attraction of APEX has increased tremendously with the recent launch of the Oracle Cloud. APEX already supported departmental development and deployment of business applications with minimal involvement from the IT department (only a database needed be made available). Positioned as the ideal replacement for MS Access, APEX probably has […]

I was very interested in learning about the final result after hearing many intermediate comments during the […]
No JDBC based data retrieval in Java applications – RESTstyle, JSON formatted HTTP based interaction from Java to Database
This article demonstrates how Java application can query data from relational databases (well, in this case more specifically the Oracle RDBMS) without the use of plain old JDBC but instead through a simple HTTP interaction with a RESTful service that returns the data in JSON format. In this way, issues […]
First Steps with RestLet 1.1RC2 in JDeveloper 11g – restful services 101
WebServices are hot. Some more so than others. SOAP based WebServices are frequently seen as not very lean and agile. Robust – perhaps. Widely supported – no doubt about it. Key element of almost any SOA infrastructure – sure. Easy, lightweight to deploy or to program a client against – […]
