It is my assumption that inbound and outbound emailing has been configured – for example for a GMail account – as described in these two articles: GMail for inbound mail in SOA Suite 12c and GMail for outbound mail in SOA Suite 12c and that test mails can be sent and received. The steps are: configure an email driver for SOA Suite for outbound and inbound emails configure an email address (one of the inbound email accounts set up on the email driver configuration) for...

The Oracle SOA Suite Spring component has been present since SOA Suite 11.1.1.3 (11gR1 PS2). This component allows easy integration of Java code with other SOA Suite components such as (among others) BPEL, BPM and Business Rules. In SOA Suite 12c (12.1.3.0) this component is still present. In This blog post I will provide a short example on how it can be used and how the first problem I encountered with this component can be avoided. Implementation First create a SOA...

Images are heavily used in Mobile apps. For instance a list that contains employees usually shows the images of these employees. This works well when you have a WIFI connection, but what if you are using slower connections ? If you look at a mobile twitter app you will see that, depending on connectivity, images are loaded instantaneously or delayed. In this post I explain how you can load the images of a List in a background process, after the other content has been loaded. As...

Previously I had a post about dynamic ADF attribute binding creation and dynamic ADF form generation - Adaptive Form with Dynamic ADF Attribute Value Binding. Blog reader was asking how to generate dynamic ADF LOV binding using similar approach. This is possible and actually documented in Eugene Fedorenko post here - Dynamic LOV binding. I will use the same piece of code to extend my sample application with dynamic ADF LOV binding support.Here you can download updated...

The Oracle SOA Suite provides an Audit Trail monitor screen where the message flow between the different SCA composites can be tracked. Depending on the audit level, it can provide a very detailed chronology of the different states of the message, including the first component that receives the messages, its correspondent transformation along the way, and the routing it’s final destination. Nevertheless, a SOA platform is intended to integrate not only internal composites but...

In the previous blog entries I showed you how to create an ADF project that uses the new Alta UI and then showed you an example of implementing one of the design patterns for a flip card. In this blog/video I'm going to show you how you can further fine tune the look and feel of your Alta application by modifying and extending your skin with CSS. At the end of the day, this is going to be done in a similar way to how you skinned previous ADF applications. (If you have...

Mobility expert Luc Bors from AMIS Netherlands recently published via McGraw- Hill the Oracle Mobile Application Developer Guide, the very first book to come out about Oracle's Mobile Application Framwork (MAF) since its release earlier this year. Following on from my previous articles on Oracle mobile leaders, in this Q&A article we interviewed Luc to share his insights into the world of Oracle mobility with you. Firstly Luc, congratulations on publishing your bookon...

Part 1 of the Oracle SOA 11g Performance Tuning Webinar Series. Delivered by Steve Millidge, C2B2 Technical Director, on the 21st of January 2013. C2B2 is running a new series of short and snappy educational webinars about Oracle SOA Suite 11g. Delivered by our experienced middleware consultants, the webinars provide insight and ideas for the performance tuning of Oracle SOA Suite 11g. Over the next few weeks we will take a bottom up walk through the middleware technology...

The Parking Lot Pattern has been leveraged in many Oracle SOA Suite deployments to handle complex batching, message correlation, and complex processing flows. One scenario that is a frequent topic of discussion is throttling SOA Suite so as not to overwhelm slower downstream systems. Most often this is accomplished via the tuning knobs within SOA Suite and WebLogic Server. However, there are times when the built-in tuning cannot be tweaked enough to stop flooding slower...
