OAuth2 is a popular authentication framework. As a service provider it is thus common to provide support for OAuth2. How can you do this on a plain WebLogic Server / Service Bus without having to install additional products (and possibly have to pay for licenses)? If you just want to […]

Overview of WebLogic 12c RESTful Management Services
Inspired by a presentation given by Shukie Ganguly on the free Oracle Virtual Technology Summit in July (see here); “New APIs and Tools for Application Development in WebLogic 12c”, I decided to take a look at an interesting new feature in WebLogic Server 12c: the RESTful Management Services. You can […]
JDeveloper 12c & ADF 12c: Launch of the next generation
Last week – just when I was at the far end of a narrow internet connection – Oracle released JDeveloper 12c (12.1.2) along with ADF 12c and WebLogic 12c (12.1.2). Hot on the heels of Oracle Database 12c (12.1.2), which was released on June 25th – about two weeks earlier. […]
ADF interaction with business service – an ongoing discussion
The ADF framework strongly suggests if not dictates a certain application architecture. Through ADF BC (Business Components) – the predominant business service implementation with ADF – applications will typically interact directly with the database, over JDBC Database Connections from a shared connection pool. Developers who create the ADF BC Entity […]
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 […]
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 […]
SOA Suite 11g – Using Spring Component to mimic Http Binding and integrate RESTful services
In an earlier post, I showed for the Oracle SOA Suite 11g how we can use the Mediator’s Java Callout functionality to integrate RESTful services into our SOA Composite applications, even though we currently have no Http Binding Service nor WSIF support (SOAP Java Binding) at our disposal in the […]
The Oracle SOA Suite 11g HttpBinding or another way to call RESTful services from SOA Composite Applications
I wanted to take a quick look at REST(ful) WebServices and see how those can be integrated into the SCA based SOA Composite Applications that we create with the Oracle SOA Suite. Currently, it does not have the HTTP binding that the 10.1.3 release of the SOA Suite used to […]
Leveraging RESTful Services from Java applications using Jersey (Introduction)
While researching for the Oracle SOA Suite 11g Handbook, I wanted to take a quick look at REST(ful) WebServices and see how those can be integrated into the SCA based SOA Composite Applications that we create with the Oracle SOA Suite. Currently, it does not have the HTTP binding that […]
RESTful service based on ADF Business Components, publishing enterprise database contents the REST way
After three introductory and exploratory articles on RestLet, RESTful Services and the creation of the latter using the former in JDeveloper 11g as well as hooking it up with ADF, it is now time to create a more serious RESTful service. A service that exposes resources from an enterprise business […]
Publishing resources exposed by ADF Data Control in RESTful services using RestLet and JDeveloper 11g
The previous two articles on RESTful services using RestLet and developing in JDeveloper 11g – First Steps with RestLet 1.1RC2 in JDeveloper 11g – restful services 101 and Extending the RestLet application with support for POST/PUT to create and update Resources – used a static data set as source for […]
Extending the RestLet application with support for POST/PUT to create and update Resources
In a previous post – First Steps with RestLet 1.1RC2 in JDeveloper 11g – restful services 101 – I introduced RestLet and how to use it for creating very simple RestFul services in JDeveloper 11g. This contribution takes things a little further: the things and thing service discussed in the […]
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 – […]
