Technology Network Virtual Technology Summit March 8th & 15th & April 5th 2016

March 7, 2016 Leave a comment

 

The Middleware track in this event offers you a choice.

  • Track 1: The Internet of Things
    This track starts with a look at IoT in the enterprise and an examination of three different architectures that incorporate the Oracle IoT Cloud Service. The next session drills down into a reference architecture that includes the IoT Cloud Service, plus Oracle’s Integration, Process, Big Data, and Mobile Cloud Services, and presents a demo showing the development of a vending machine case. The third and final IoT session shows you how to connect devices to the IoT Cloud Service and how to use Stream Explorer to display sensor data from those devices in a web application.
  • Track 2: WebLogic 12.2.1 and Java EE
    This track presents three in-depth technical sessions covering different aspects of WebLogic 12.2.1. The first is an extensive, code-driven introduction to developing Java EE 7 applications with WebLogic 12.2.1. The second session digs into WebLogic Multi-Tenancy fundamentals, and the final session shows how you can take advantage of WebLogic Server Zero Down-time Patching.

Can’t make up your mind? No worries! All VTS sessions are available on-demand after the live event.

How we design usable Oracle applications that please users and customers by Mascha van Oosterhout

March 7, 2016 Leave a comment

 

clip_image002Glance, Scan, Commit

That is what people do in order to perform a task.

This task can be to buy a new tv set in a store…

  • Glance: “Wow, see the amount of TV-sets they have on sale here!”
  • Scan: “These 4 are within my price range and they fit into my living room”.
  • Commit: “Let’s have a look at the specifications and the reviews. OK I like this one best, I’ll buy this one”.

…or a task performed by a professional doing his daily work:

  • Glance: “Let’s have a look what happened yesterday and what is urgent for today.”
  • Scan: “I need to take action regarding a few to-do’s and two reports should be ready this afternoon”.
  • Commit: “Let’s find the information necessary for me to decide which one to do first. OK, this one is urgent, because the customer was promised a response with”.

At eProseed we make sure to support the glance, scan, commit behavior when designing and developing a User eXperience for the users of the applications we build. In each phase of the development process we involve users in order to gather as much feedback regarding the usability and the usefulness of the application as possible. By doing this, we make sure that we are on the right track developing a technical feasible, usable, effective and efficient application which fulfills the needs of users and customers.

User Centered Design

We achieve this by taking the following steps:

Analyzing: Who is the user?

  • We find out ‘who is the user?’ and we create personas – user profiles which describe and visualize typical users to ensure that all stakeholders involved in the development process, know we are designing this application for.
  • We analyze the user’s way of working. We create usage scenarios representing the daily tasks users will have to perform with the new application in a daily context.
  • We find out what users expect the new/improved application to do and to support them with. We use several proven evaluation methods to gain this information from all types of users.
  • We check with our developers what technical possibilities are available in order to come up with a feasible UX design.

Discovering & Co-creating: What does the user do/need and where?

  • We involve customers and users at the start of the design process, by observing them doing their daily work and by interviewing them.
  • We find out the context of use: at home, in the office, on the road…
  • We also facilitate co-creation workshops in which we together with the customer/user create solutions to their problems. We even design together with them.

RESTful Invoke BPM Process Using Apache CXF by John Featherly

March 5, 2016 Leave a comment

 

clip_image002Apache CXF is a services framework that is the open source evolution of IONA Celtix and Codehaus XFire, hence the name CXF. CXF has extensive support for Web Service standards WS-*, JAX-WS and JAX-RS APIs etc. but the focus of this article is on the CXF web service client proxy factory and running it in a WebLogic web app implementing a REST service. As a demonstration we will build a service using JDeveloper that invokes an Oracle BPM process with a message start service interface. REST “clients” are lightweight and simpler to implement than SOAP web service clients. A REST to SOAP converter for BPM processes make them more accessible.

For the impatient, the two key enablers are to determine the proper subset of CXF library jars and resolve any conflicts with WebLogic libraries. The CXF distribution has 149 jars and you don’t want to just simply add them all to your project. The following list is based on the dynamic client sample in the CXF distribution from the 3.1.0 release.

The Demo Service

The demo is a RESTful service that invokes a message start BPM process via the usual SOAP Web Service call based on the published WSDL for the process. The service will be deployed and run on WebLogic. The process can have any number of parameters which we will assume to be all of type string to keep things simple. It would be straightforward to handle arbitrary types since we introspect the generated proxy class but I’ll leave that as an exercise for the reader. The most common BPM process invoke is asynchronous with no callback, go do your work and don’t ever bother me about it. That is call mechanism implemented in the demo.

BPM Process

A sample BPM process is needed to test the REST service. A representative process will have a message Start with End type set to None since we won’t be listening for a callback.

The defined interface with four sample string arguments would look like: Read the complete article here.
