Device to Data Center (D2D): Machine to machine (M2M) or broadly the Internet of Things, represents a big opportunity for Oracle as a company and Oracle Fusion Middleware as a product. As devices become more intelligent, Oracle Fusion Middleware can help organizations manage, integrate and analyze M2M data.

Oracle Technology Network (OTN) published the article Fault Handling and Prevention – Part 2 (Fault Handling and Prevention for Services in Oracle Service Bus) by Ronald van Luttikhuizen and Guido Schmutz.
Part 1 of this article series on Fault Handling and Prevention discussed what fault handling is and why it is important. It also addressed the specific challenges in handling faults in a service-oriented landscape as compared to traditional systems. Part 1 concluded by presenting a sample scenario, an Order process implemented in a BPM and SOA environment, discussed potential pitfalls, and described generic fault prevention and recovery patterns.
Part 2 concentrates on concrete fault handling and prevention measures in the integration layer that are realized through Oracle Service Bus (OSB). The integration layer covers typical elements and integration functionality, such as Adapters for connectivity to back-end systems, Routing, Transformation, and Filtering.

This week Oracle released it sixth patchset (11.1.1.7) of the SOA Suite and it’s IDE JDeveloper. In this new release there are some small changes in the IDE, but there are also some mayor changes like two new adapters; healthcare and the UMS (User Messaging Service). This blog will look into the use of the UMS adapter as a inbound and outbound service in a SOA Composite. This adapter was already available as beta in PS5 but now it is an official adapter.
By using the UMS (User Messaging Service) adapter as an inbound service you can initiate a instance of a SOA composite by receiving a email message on one or more configured recipients. By using the UMS adapter as an outbound service you can send email messages to one or more recipients with an optional option to send data message as an attachment.
Scroll to: Inbound UMS adapter | Custom Java CallOut | Outbound UMS adapter | Server Configuration | Testing Adapter
Let’s get into the basics
There are two parts to this adapter; one is the implementation in your SOA composite and the second one is the configuration of the USM adapter that is deployed within Weblogic. The implementation uses inbound and outbound connection factories which need to be configured in Weblogic before the SOA Composite is deployed.
Let’s say the context of this example is to register new employees, created in the CRM system, to go through the SOA Suite to provision other systems. Changes made by one of these systems need to be pushed back to the CRM system. The CRM system can only be coupled via email.
First we look into the implementation within the SOA Composite using JDeveloper 11.1.1.7. For this example just create a new SOA project with an empty composite. Let’s start with the UMS adapter as an inbound service. In the composite editor drag the UMS adapter service adapter from the component palette to the exposed services swim lane.
