The Oracle Integration Platform Portfolio as per OOW 2016 – on premises and primarily in the cloud
One of the very first capabilities Oracle ever introduced in its PaaS portfolio was integration. It was clear from the onset of any talk about clouds that facilities to do integration between cloud and on premises as well as between various clouds [from different vendors] would be essential. With its […]
Oracle PaaS Cloud – The API Platform Service – launch date Winter 2016/17
APIs are hot. Public APIs are an enterprise’s programmatic interface to B2B partners, governments and other stakeholders including app and web builders. Internally, APIs are the touch points for encapsulated functionality and data and the entry points into microservices – to name that other hot term. APIs are usurping the […]
Java Callout from Business Rules
Goal and warning This blog will show how to invoke java code directly from within a Business Rules component. I didn’t manage to find this in the Oracle product documentation, which is actually a good thing. Invoking java code with business logic directly from within the Business Rules is normally […]
What can we learn from the Microservices movement?
If you’re into integration, SOA or web services, you’ve probably heard the term Microservices fairly often lately. Is applying Microservices architecture the one-size-fits-all solution that can replace the traditional one-size-fits-all SOA solution that doesn’t fit anymore? Of course not, because the world isn’t just black and white and both architectural […]
Benefits of a Canonical Data Model (CDM) in a SOA environment
Introduction The last few years I’ve been working in several SOA related projects, small projects as well as quite large projects. Almost all of these projects use a Canonical Data Model (CDM). In this post I will explain what a CDM is and point out what the benefits are of […]

Creating reusable Business Rules for SOA & BPM
This article dives into the Business Rules Engine (BRE) of Oracle SOA Suite and how to create reusable Business Rules for your SOA services and BPM processes. Basic knowledge of the BRE is assumed. In many cases, when you work with SOA or BPM, Business Rules are involved. They are […]
Simple problems and simple solutions
Most developers have struggled with wires in SOA composites. You may find yourself in a situation where a wire has been deleted. Some missing wires are restored by JDeveloper. Other missing wires have to be added manually, by simply re-connecting the involved adapters and components. Simple. Recently, I had […]
Structure is Everything
Middleware applications are normally build in a structured way – according to some architecture. However, often this structure can’t be recognized in the implementation. This article describes some simple measures that can be taken to improve on this point. The article does not intend to be complete, but it should […]
Doing performance measurements of an OSB Proxy Service by programmatically extracting performance metrics via the ServiceDomainMBean and presenting them as an image via a PowerPoint VBA module
This article explains how the process of doing performance measurements of an OSB Proxy Service and presenting them in a “performance analysis document” was partly automated. After running a SoapUI based Test Step (sending a request to the service), extracting the service performance metrics was done by using the ServiceDomainMBean […]
Subversion revision of a deployed BPM/SOA composite?
So there you are: a production error was reported … in your code (of all places) … but no one knows what release the code came from? Wouldn’t it be great if it was easy to link deployed composites to their Subversion location and revision? This article show an approach […]
