When working with a colleague on a sample SOA 12c project recently I noticed a change in 12c that I had not seen mentioned anywhere yet.  In the sample project we were integrating with the Atlassian OnDemand service in order to provision users for Confluence and JIRA.  The integration is performed using a SOAP service over SSL.  In this situation, like at many of our customers, we needed to import additional trusted certificates into the trust store in order to make the...

Oracle OpenWorld is over, but there's still plenty to consume! Much of the developer attention was focused on JavaOne down the road, but that doesn't mean we forgot about you! Here's a brief recap of the goings-on, some sessions you may have missed, and some useful links. Hopefully, you can take a few minutes and get all caught up Sessions and KeynotesJust for you, we had a ton of OOW sessions focused on developing for Fusion Middleware. These didn't just focus on Oracle...

In SOA Suite 12c, we create application integrations and business processes designed as services composed of processing logic, data transformation and routing, dynamic business rules and human tasks in the form of XML-based metadata. The graphical representations of these services are created in JDeveloper using its graphical editors. Since these services are composed of individual, separately configurable components, we call this a composite service. Once deployed to and...

The inclusive gateway, just like the exclusive gateway, enables you to split your process into two or more paths. The intrinsic difference between an exclusive gateway and an inclusive gateway is that in an exclusive gateway, the process only continues down one of several paths (if multiple outgoing sequence flows are present) while in an inclusive gateway a process will follow all conditional paths whose expressions are evaluated to true. Furthermore, in an inclusive gateway...

In large companies, often there are many services and dependencies between services. It is important to track service dependencies in order to for example estimate the impact of changes. Design documents or architecture views can be used for this but as everybody knows, there is often a gap between theory and practice (design and implementation). In this blog post I provide code to determine dependencies between composites to the level of operation calls. In order to achieve...

Details of the SSL POODLE bug can be found here We can address it in the following way. 1) Disable SSL 3.0 support in the client. 2) Disable SSL 3.0 support in the server. We can start WebLogic server with the following JVM option -Dweblogic.security.SSL.protocolVersion=TLS1 Ref :- http://weblogic-wonders.com/weblogic/2009/12/08/use-specific-ssl-protocol-version-with-weblogic-server/ Disable support for CBC-based cipher suites when using SSL 3.0 (in either client or server). You can...
