In recent previous articles I have discussed the use of Vagrant and Puppet for the automated creation of Virtual Machines, for example with various Oracle software components completely installed into them. In this article, I am merely the consumer of goodies. Edwin Biemond published on GitHub the complete set of Vagrant and Puppet configuration files for creating VMs with the SOA Infra database (Oracle Database 11.2.0.4, populated with the RCU installer) and the SOA Suite...

Introduction To build functional and performant mobile apps, the back-end data services need to be optimized for mobile consumption. RESTful web services using JSON as payload format are widely considered as the best architectural choice for integration between mobile apps and back-end systems. At the same time, most existing enterprise back-end systems provide a SOAP-based web service application programming interface (API) or proprietary file-based interfaces. In this...

In a BPEL process there are some use cases where a Wait activity or the onAlarm branch of a Pick activity is needed. An example for an onAlarm branch is a timeout mechanism for an asynchronous call. These activities save the instance in the dehydration store for a defined time. To wake up the waiting instances there is a quartz scheduler job running in the weblogic and check the expiration date in the dehydration store. For the case the dehydration store is not available, the...

In last some of the posts regarding MDS, we saw how to achieve Personalizations and Seeded Customizations in Enterprise applications using Oracle ADF. There was explanation how to leverage Oracle ADF MDS framework for this purpose. Most of the personalization and customization is provided OOTB by the framework and just requires correct configurations and steps to achieve. These are declarative user customizations which allow to implicit save component changes done by the...

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...
