Oracle Fusion Middleware Partner Community (SOA and WebLogic) Forum in Faro

Last week I attended Oracle’s Fusion Middleware Partner Community event in Vilamoura (near Faro, Portugal). This is maybe my fifth or sixth forum in succession now so I thought I’d outline the latest one to show why I find them so useful.

OASIS SOA reference architecture

This document specifies the OASIS Reference Architecture Foundation for Service Oriented Architecture (SOA-RAF). It follows from the concepts and relationships defined in the OASIS Reference Model for Service Oriented Architecture as well as work conducted in other organizations. While it remains abstract in nature, the current document describes the foundation upon which specific SOA concrete architectures can be built.

The focus of the SOA-RAF is on an approach to integrating business with the information technology needed to support it. These issues are always present but are all the more important when business integration involves crossing ownership boundaries. A must read for all SOA architects!

Connect to multiple SOA / BPM Virtual Machines from different computers in your network by Danilo Schmiedel

Today I’d like to explain how to share instances of Oracle’s Pre-built Virtual Machine for SOA Suite and BPM Suite across different computers in your network.

Three requirements I had to address:

  1. Call of external services like GeoNames (http://www.geonames.org/postal-codes/) from within the BPM Suite VM
  2. Connection to multiple BPM Suite VMs from Host (e.g. JDeveloper and Browser)
  3. Connection to multiple BPM Suite VMs from different developer computers in the network
  4. Share data between VMs and developer computers via FTP

The default options already support connections between host and client. However the target here was to address multiple independent VMs from different computers in the same network. The following settings worked in my environment:

1) Start the Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager and open network settings of the VM. Read the full article here.
