QA82 Analyzer – Automated Quality Assurance for Oracle SOA Suite Projects

August 15, 2013 Leave a comment

The QA82 Analyzer enables the automation of quality analyses of service-oriented architectures using Oracle SOA Suite which, until now, had been performed manually. This includes automatically examining compliance with best practices and patterns and thus reducing the costs of quality assurance. Various technologies can be considered, such as WSDL, SCA, and BPMN. The QA82 Analyzer supports adaptation to individual requirements, such as company-specific standards and design guidelines.

In order to enable a seamless quality analysis integration into daily development, the QA82 Analyzer supports the integration into the Oracle JDeveloper. This allows interaction with the QA82 Analyzer without having to leave the familiar environment. With the help of corresponding plug-ins, the results of quality analyses and concrete revision suggestions can be viewed simultaneously. If a quality aspect is not ideal, developers can make use of the suggestions to make target- and quality-oriented revisions without detours.

SOA Suite Knowledge – Polyglot Service Implementation with Groovy by Alexander Suchier

August 14, 2013 Leave a comment

Polyglot programming, defined most simply, is the use of multiple languages in software development. Implementing services on the SCA Container is already a intended polyglot development approach. Oracle SOA Suite have the SCA service implementation types of BPEL, Human Workflow, Mediator, Rule and Spring Components. These components are mixing the General-Purpose Language (GPL) Java with Domain-Specific Languages (DSL) like XSD, WSDL or Schematron. But Spring Components are also enabler of service implementations with other JVM GPL languages beside Java.image

In my opinion Neal Ford was absolutely right when he coined the term “Polyglot Programming” and predicts “Applications of the future will take advantage of the polyglot nature of the language world … The times of writing an application in a single general purpose language is over” already in 2006. In order to produce polyglot implementations you need environments where polyglot-ism is required or at least encouraged. Oracle SOA Suite is such a polyglot supporting environment and you are doing polyglot development all the time (e.g. XML, WSDL, SQL, Java). But also on the GPL side the developers or not limited on Java. SCA Spring Components are supported since Patch Set 2 and the Spring Framework supports dynamic languages since version 2 (BeanShell, JRuby and Groovy).

Groovy is a General-Purpose Dynamic Language and has the best and seamless integration with Java (beside Spring integration Groovy supports also direct and JSR 223 integration). Therefore, using Groovy has a low threshold for Java developers; it is easy because Groovy has a Java-like syntax. Most Java code is also syntactically valid Groovy. So it’s an iterative learning approach for Java developers switching to Groovy. My first contact with Groovy was at the JAX conference in 2008. It was a Groovy newbie session from Dierk König (well-known book author of "Groovy in Action"). And for the first time in a long while of Java programming I had an awakening and still addicting interest on this development language. Read the full article here.

Oracle SOA Suite for the Busy IT Professional by Frank Munz

August 13, 2013 Leave a comment

Oracle SOA Suite IntroductionOracle SOA Suite is certainly the most comprehensive and also the most complex product of the classical WLS / OSB / SOA Suite stack. There are plenty of tools and other products tightly interwoven with SOA Suite:
It all starts with the installation where a supported database is required for the meta data repository. The necessary schema are created with the separate repository creation utility (RCU). Testing processes is done from Oracle Enterprise Manager. Finally developing BPEL processes requires JDeveloper as an IDE.

That is it to get started yet more complex projects often involve a Oracle Web Service Manager, and sometimes a repository and a registry.

The recipe below is part III of a series of introduction recipes covering Oracle Fusion Middleware. It’s reduced to the max and as buzzword free as it gets. It certainly doesn’t replace an in-depth training though.

… better read this first

For a better understanding make sure to read part I and II first:

Download the Oracle SOA Suite Introduction Recipe You can download the SOA Suite recipe as a PDF file from here. Enjoy!

More? This recipe is straight out of my book WebLogic Server 12c: Distinctive Recipes.
