Slicing the EDG
Different SOA Domain Configurations In this blog entry I would like to introduce three different configurations for a SOA environment. I have omitted load balancers and OTD/OHS as they introduce a whole new round of discussion. For each possible deployment architecture I have identified some of the advantages. Super Domain This is a single EDG style domain for everything needed for SOA/OSB. It extends the standard EDG slightly but otherwise assumes a single “super” domain. Thi...

You use a single JMS queue for receiving multiple message types / service requests. You have multiple SOA JMS Adapter interfaces for reading and writing these queues.

(LDS Conference Report, October 1970, p107) Like everything in life, a SOA Suite installation that is monitored and tracked has a much better chance of performing well than one that is not measured. With that in mind I came up with tool to allow the measurement of...

Clear Day for Cloud Adapters
salesforce.com Adapter Released Yesterday Oracle released their cloud adapter for salesforce.com (SFDC) so I thought I would talk a little about why you might want it. I had previously integrated with SFDC using BPEL and the SFDC web interface, so in this post I will explore why the adapter might be a better approach. Why? So if I can interface to SFDC without the adapter why would I spend money on the adapter? There are a number of reasons and in this post I will just explain...

Going Native with JCA Adapters
Formatting JCA Adapter Binary Contents Sometimes you just need to go native and play with binary data rather than XML. This occurs commonly when using JCA adapters, the file to be written is in binary format, or the TCP messsages written by the Socket Adapter are in binary format. Although the adapter has no problem converting Base64 data into raw binary, it is a little tricky to get that data into base64 format in the first place, so this blog entry will explain how. Adapter...
