This session presents a practical introduction, with live coding, to Project Jigsaw and the Java Platform Module System in Java 9. The presentation involves constructing and hacking on a simple modular application to explore the essential aspects of the module system. You’ll see how the module system ensures reliable configuration and strong encapsulation, how it improves security, and how it makes the JDK itself configurable. Watch the video here.   Developer Partner Community F...

  Oracle’s announcement of the new Blockchain Cloud Service at OOW17 was very well received by our customers, partners and analysts. This came shortly after the August announcement that Oracle has joined the Hyperledger project, which provided clear directions that Oracle embarks on open source collaboration, modular architecture, horizontal/cross-industry technology support, and support for enterprise needs. (see Oracle announcement: Oracle Cements Interest on Blockchain:...

Oracle Fusion Middleware environments often consist of multiple servers distributed across many physical hosts. To provision new environments we have the power of Rubicon Red MyST Studio to automate the creation and deployment of platforms both large and small, but there still remains a level of manual effort to validate that everything is working as expected. One of the most basic checks is to review the server logs for errors. Given the size and complexity of some...

  Others may disagree, but I am a fan of creating the first cut of ADF forms for Oracle BPM using the human task's auto-generation feature.  While this worked well in previous releases, in 12.2.1.1, 12.2.1.2 and 12.2.1.3 small manual edits are now needed to eliminate the errors on the generated form. There are now two types of errors caused by 12.2.1.x auto-generation - edAttTy errors and duplicate ID errors. Patches While this blog describes the manual edits you can make to...

  Introduction There is a pretty popular architecture pattern when ADF applications are built on top of shared libraries. So the main application is being deployed as an EAR and all subsystems are implemented within shared libraries that can be independently built and deployed to WebLogic as JARs in "hot" mode without downtime. The advantages of this approach seem to be obvious: · It decomposes the application implementing the concepts of modularization and reuse · CI/CD process...

To speed the time it takes for a work item instance to flow through a process, copies of the instance can be sent to people in multiple roles simultaneously in the Oracle Integration Cloud Process Cloud Service (PCS).  Someone in each of the roles can then approve or reject the work item instance.  The challenge comes when an early release from all of the parallel copies is desired when anyone in any of the roles rejects their instance and the original work item instance...

  Oracle has been active with Docker for quite some time now. From the first hesitant steps from some enthusiastic employees with Docker build files that helped people to get going with Oracle software in their experimental containers to a GitHub repo with a broad set of extensive Docker build files to create Docker containers with various Oracle product that are supported (https://github.com/oracle/docker-images). And of course the Oracle Container Cloud – launched in the...

In the previous blog, we already explained how you can start your process from a SOAP interface. It is also possible to do this with a REST call. For this you need to find out a couple of things about your process after which you can do a post on the Oracle API to start the process. You can use any REST client you want, in this example we use Postman. First of all, you need to query the process definitions API. This can be found by putting /bpm/api/4.0/process-definitions...
