OK we’d all not like to download patches but patches are essential to keep your Fusion Middleware installation and up to date..
The most direct place to download a patch is the Metalink website (http://metalink.oracle.com) but if your getting lost and can’t find your SOA patchset, or patch number then this website
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/soa/soasuite/collateral/downloads.html
Is a hidden gem, it details all the patches, all the MLRs for our different releases, you still need to go to Metalink to download the patch but at least you now have the patch number to help you.
Enjoy
