FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why do we need a SOA Developer Virtual Machine? Virtual Machines (VM) play an important role in increasing developer productivity; saving hours, if not days, of provisioning effort in standing up a fully functional, configured Fusion Middleware platform for testing and evaluation. Think of it as your very own Platform as a Service (PaaS) on your laptop/desktop!

What can I use the VM for? A developer VM can prove useful for a variety of reasons: quick internal demos, proof of concepts, testing etc. For those new to Oracle SOA or BPM Suite, it can serve as a powerful tool to learn these technologies, which is why it is very popular for developer learning and training sessions. In fact, the VM includes pre-configured lab artifacts – "PO Processing" and "Sales Quote" – that are used in Oracle instructor-led training sessions and in the "Getting Started" books on Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle BPM Suite.

What benefits does the VM provide beyond simply installing the Oracle SOA Suite? For enterprise development, installation of Oracle SOA Suite (or any single piece of software for that matter) is only a fraction of the overall effort needed to build an end-to-end configured development environment. Typical effort in standing up an integrated software stack on a "bare-metal" would involve the following provisioning tasks:

  • Create base image: Install supported version of the Linux OS e.g. Oracle Linux, Ubuntu, EC2 AMIs etc.
  • Setup base image: Security policies, firewalls, port forwarding rules, hard drive partitions on block storage
  • Install pre-requisite software: Java, Database
  • Install Fusion Middleware: SOA Suite, BPM Suite, Web Center and any other modules, run RCU with correct schema names and passwords
  • Setup Fusion Middleware: WLS domain with correct templates needed for SOA+BPM+BAM+Service Bus+WebCenter
  • Configure Modules: Association between BPM and WebCenter Content/Portal with the correct security setup 
  • Install additional tools/software: JDeveloper IDE, extensions
  • Optimize the environment: WLS console properties, front-end host, external listen address etc. for your network topology
  • Create accounts: Seed demo user accounts with email addresses (or other user accounts)

While you can always automate the above-mentioned steps, having a pre-provisioned DevOps style machine image can help you reduce development costs. It can get you from zero to a fully working SOA environment in minutes, on any developer’s laptop. The benefits go beyond simply time to provision, it allows you to do more with less resources. For example, the VM allows developers to quickly switch between multiple running instances, each testing a new feature or version without the need for additional hardware.

We sincerely hope you enjoy using this VM and would love to hear your feedback!

You can follow him on Twitter and his personal blog.

Tip from Giuliano Bonardi Us the latest version of  Virtualbox (4.3.10) downloaded from VirtualBox Community website here. Virtualbox 4.3.8 might not work with the image!

Cloud Computing and SOA – Part of the Industrial SOA article series

May 17, 2014 1 Comment

Cloud Computing Hype
Why is everyone talking about cloud computing? Drawn-out, expensive IT projects that are planned and implemented without any benefits for the business stakeholders are commonplace. In contrast, cloud computing offers business users the chance to immediately implement services with usage-based billing that are tailored to their requirements, often without the need to consult with the IT department.

However, aspects like security, architecture, availability, and standards are often not evaluated. Cloud consumers find themselves at the mercy of the cloud provider. Scenarios that require changing cloud providers after a cloud provider goes bankrupt, and the associated moving of data and/or applications, have not yet been sufficiently tested. Business continuity should play a key role from the start of a cloud evaluation process.

One of the greatest challenges here is the integration of existing data and systems into the cloud solution. Without integration spanning between clouds and on-premise systems, processes can only be executed in isolation, leading to cloud-specific silos of isolated solutions. Important information for users is not available across processes and systems.

Problems that would have occurred in the company’s internal IT are now shifted to the cloud provider. To prevent "legacy clouds" or solutions that are hard to maintain, it is important to manage the entire architecture proactively and, in particular, the integration into the cloud. Even if cloud providers want us to believe otherwise, not every aspect of IT can be outsourced to cloud solutions!

SOA Suite 11g – The Ingredient for Innovation: New Integration Adapters by Thanos Terentes Printzios

April 30, 2014 Leave a comment

Enterprise of all sizes, are evaluating cloud computing. Many businesses are making new economic investments in public cloud, while they continue to rely on their existing on-premise IT investments. To integrate data between public cloud and private data center, organizations face major challenges:

  • Integration complexity between the cloud and on-premise applications.
  • Load data rapidly to get cloud applications up and running in a well-timed.
  • The data must be kept synchronized – often in real time.
  • Enforce security

Three common reasons for integration complexity:

One question remains with the emergence of the cloud computing.
Do we need disparate toolkit to deploy a cloud integration platform focused on cloud applications and then have a separate integration platform for existing applications?

Three solutions to these challenges:

Oracle SOA Suite 11 g is the only offering that is complete, integrated, best-of-breed and hot-pluggable.

Doing more with less, Oracle SOA suite 11.1.1.7 simplifies The Integration Experience:

  • Cloud and Mobile Integrations
  • Integrate 3rd party SaaS applications, hybrid clouds, and Oracle Cloud
  • Mobile Integration leveraging, Oracle SOA connects mobile applications using JSON and REST via Oracle Service Bus

Oracle SOA Suite provides a single solution for integrating applications regardless of deployment location (public cloud, private cloud, or on-premises) to simplify integration and lower total cost of ownership. Read the complete article here.

Working with Oracle Security Token Service in an Architecture Involving Oracle WebLogic and Oracle Service Bus by Ronaldo Fernandes

April 29, 2014 Leave a comment

Using Oracle Security Token Service to generate Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) tokens.
Downloads: Oracle Security Token Service & Oracle WebLogic Server & Oracle Service Bus.

Recently, I’ve worked on a proof of concept for the use of Oracle Security Token Service (OSTS) in an architecture involving Oracle Fusion Middleware, focused on Oracle WebLogic Server (WLS), Oracle Web Service Manager (OWSM) and Oracle Se

fernandes-osts-weblogic-osb-fig09

rvice Bus (OSB). There are many security scenarios in which OSTS can be used, but the initial objective was to provide single sign-on between WLS and OSB using OSTS to generate Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) tokens. This article describes the steps to implement this solution.

Scenario

The solution was applied on OWSM with OSB 11g (11.1.1.6), Oracle Access Manager (OAM) 11gR2 (11.1.2) and WLS 11g (10.3.6). A Security Token Service (STS) creates and validates security tokens, using protocols such as WS-Trust, acting as a centralizer point in security infrastructure architecture and simplifying identity propagation between heterogeneous environments.

OSTS is an Oracle Identity Management access management solution. For more information on OSTS, consult the following articles by Oracle Fusion Middleware A-Team solution architect Andre Correa:

The proof of concept required a client on WLS accessing a service provided by OSB using SAML. The SAML Assertion should be generated from OSTS.

WLS can use WS-Trust policies and communicate with OSTS, but OSB 11g still doesn’t support WS-Trust policies. To work around this issue, configure OSB to trust messages signed by an OSTS certificate. Here is the complete scenario: Read the complete article here.
