Oracle SOA Evolution


Oracle SOA Suite

SOA Suite 10.1.3.4 is released 10.1.3.5 planned for February 2009 Beta 11g in October?

One of the improvements: FINALLY you can see message content in Manual Message Recovery pages!


The Buy Of A Lifetime

We are used to Oracle buying new products on a regular basis.

With the purchase of BEA they didn’t buy a new product, they bought an almost fully overlapping toolstack.


The Future of SOA Middleware - I


The Future of SOA Middleware - II


The Overview


Coherence Cache/Data Grid/Application Grid/SOA Grid/...

Oracle Coherence (formerly Tangosol Coherence) was among the biggest news on OOW2007

Almost every java-based Product Development team within Oracle was talking with them about integrating/using Coherence with their products….

… and they still are … … and some have made serious progress:

Toplink (used Coherence as distributed Cache, and Coherence uses Toplink as JPA implementation)

Complex Event Processing (more on this later) …


SOA Grid - I


SOA Grid - II


The Overview


Oracle Service Bus Previously known as Aqualogic Service Bus, now

Oracle Service Bus (OSB) Direct competition for the ESB in the SOA Suite (now

known as OESB, renamed to “Mediator” in R11g) Much more “mature” than OESB:

Much better support for VETO (Validate-Enrich-Transform-Operate) pattern (specifically the “E”).

More powerful transformation possibilities (not just XSLT but also “assign”-like operations).

Much better console (services can be built from scratch using only browser)

Much better High Performance features (throttling, content-based message priority, partial message extraction,….)

Also lacking some important features: No SCA (Service Component Architecture) support Domain-Value maps No JCA Adapter support => can’t use SOA Suite adapters


Fusion Middleware 11g R1


Service Component Architecture


The Overview


Event Driven SOA (ED-SOA)

It’s not a Queue implementation, it’s not an Enterprise Service Bus…

Its something in between..


Need support for:

•High Volume

•Continuous Streaming

•Sub-millisecond latency

•Time-window processing

•Complex pattern matching


Oracle CEP

At OOW2007, Complex Event Processing was put on the map within Oracle with a CQL (Continuous Query Language), but it had no place to run (yet)

BEA had the BEA Event Server with their own, less powerful query language (EQL).

A match made in heaven => Oracle CEP Lightweight POJO-based container (Spring

framework used extensively). Processes Event streams, can forward to BAM

(dashboard, alerting) & SOA infrastructure (ESB) process initiation

Works perfectly together with (Coherence) Data Grid


High-Available CEP Reference Architecture


The Overview


SOA Governance


Oracle BPM

Formerly known as AquaLogic Business Process Management

Direct competition for Oracle BPEL: Standards based Designtime for Business Analist (BPM Studio) Eclipse IDE for Developer Runtime engine (BPM Server) Management Console, BAM integration Human Workflow

Compared: Oracle BPM better support for human workflow BPEL PM better support for automation Both based on standards Oracle BPM has uniform view, BPEL PM requires transformation Oracle BPM : Closed loop with BPA Suite and BAM integration

almost realized


Future: Oracle BPM & BPEL PM

BPEL PM and Oracle BPM will share common runtime engine.

Gut feeling: BPEL used more for “technical” processes, composite services etc. Oracle BPM for “business” processes with human interaction.


Oracle Applications – Application Integration Architecture

Lucas JellemaExpertise Manager, AMIS


Application Integration Architecture

Enterprise business processesacross all products

Synergy between productsfrom Oracle Apps stack EBS, PSFT, SIBL, JDE, …

CONVERTER


Forms to APEX conversion APEX team states:

Forms is not going away However…


Alternative: Forms Rejuvenation…

Or: OraFormsFace

s Forms => ADF

Conversion


Forms to APEX Conversion


Forms to APEX conversion A way to jumpstart an Oracle Forms to APEX modernization

project If that is where you want to go…

A way to jumpstart development of an application that exposes part of a Forms application in HTML

Automatic conversion of Forms components that can be automatically converted to native APEX components Blocks, items, simple derivation/calculation/validation, overall layout

structure (order of items and blocks,…) NOT: triggers, program units, layout specifics

Easy way to browse your Forms application logic A convenient tool to track manual conversion of Trigger and

other non-convertible logic


APEX Roadmap Current: 3.1

Introduced Interactive Reports

Soon: 3.2 Forms Conversion

Later: 4.0 Websheets APEX Listener Improved Tabular

Forms Dynamic Actions

• client side manipulation of UI properties – e.g. show/hide


APEX Development


When to APEX or not? APEX

Small team Short time to market Short lifespan Data oriented UI PL/SQL skills Oracle only (friendly)

environment

Not APEX Large(r) team Complex application Task/Process oriented

UI Long (expected) life

cycle No existing PL/SQL

skills SOA integration (more/somewhat)

open Scalability important

Requirements JDeveloper 11g/ADF 11g

Requirements from internal development teams Easier entry, less steep learning curve Higher productivity (for 8000+ not all J(2)EE hot shot

developers – many with 4GL/Forms background) Maintainability for enterprise level applications Team Collaboration Rich, Web 2.0 User Experience

• Customizable per industry and organization Enterprise 2.0 (Collaboration)

and SOA integration Compliant with industry standards

such as J(2)EE


JDeveloper 11g/ADF 11g (even more) Declarative (4GL style) development

Lot of functionality can be Model driven: Complex Search Forms, List of Values, Validations, (default) UI properties

95% no-code development Visual Editor, Wizard and Property palette driven

High level of reusability Page templates, Declarative Components, Task Flows

& Regions, ADF Libraries, Model based specifications MDS (Meta Data Store) for design-time and run-

time customization Skinning for tailor made look & feel


ADF Faces RichClient


Rich Clients though not necessarily only for Rich

Customers JDeveloper 11g (design time) is free ADF Rich Faces will be donated to Apache

MyFaces Trinidad ADF Controller (task flows, templates,…) is

probably also to be donated to Trinidad Oracle considers removing the

run-time ADF license altogether


JDeveloper 11g – the ‘Bulldog’ release
