Oracle SOA Suite Developer's Guide is a new book from Packt that guides developers to use and apply the Oracle SOA Suite 10gR3 in the implementation of SOA applications. Written by expert developers in SOA BPEL, Antony Reynolds and Matt Wright, this book walks the reader through key SOA design considerations with the help of a working example of an online auction site (oBay).

This book guides the reader through a tutorial of the core components that make up the Oracle SOA Suite; namely the Oracle Service Bus, BPEL Process Manager, Human Workflow, Business Rules, and Business Activity Monitoring, thus helping the reader to find the best way to combine or use all of these different components to implement a real-world SOA solution.

Developers will learn to build implementation-agnostic services using the Oracle Service Bus. They will be shown how to assemble services in order to build composite services and long-running business process. The readers will be taught how to use business rules to externalize "decision points" in a BPEL process, and will be able to incorporate Human Workflow into their processes to provide greater agility.

This book will help users secure and administer SOA applications using Web Service Manager, and will teach them to observe the protocols available in addition to SOAP over HTTP for invoking Web Services. Readers will also learn to design their Web Service contracts for interoperability and maintainability, thus building new business services.

Technical architects and developers working with SOA will find this book useful. This book is out now and is available from Packt. For more information, please visit www.PacktPub.com/developers-guide-for-oracle-soa-suite-10gr3/book
