Oracle SOA Suite 11g: Build Composite Applications (Self-Study Course)

Overview

This course covers designing and developing SOA composite applications for application integration with services by using a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) implementation approach.

Composite applications are modeled and developed according to the Service Component Architecture (SCA) specifications. Oracle JDeveloper 11g is used to design, develop and deploy applications to an Oracle SOA Suite 11g run-time environment, in which the composite applications are executed.

With the Oracle JDeveloper 11g Integrated Development Environment (IDE), participants learn how to design, develop, deploy, and test SOA Composite applications comprised of Mediator, BPEL, Business Rules, Human Tasks (Workflow) components. They also learn the usage of these components in depth that is sufficient to implement a reasonably complex business solution, based on a purchase order processing scenario.

Learn to:
  • Test, debug, and troubleshoot an SOA Composite application
  • Interact with an ADF Business Component Service as an Service Data Object (SDO)
  • Initiate SOA Composite applications using the Events Delivery Network
  • Apply security policies to service endpoints
  • Perform basic administration and monitoring tasks of SOA composite applications
  • Create an SOA Composite application using JDeveloper
