Oracle OpenWorld 2013: First glimpses of the new SOA Suite 12c by Lucas Jellema
- by JuergenKress
During this week’s Oracle OpenWorld Conference, we were given some
sneak peeks into the short term future of the Oracle SOA Suite. During
various roadmap sessions, on the demo grounds as well as in the keynote
session by Thomas Kurian (the replay of which you can see here, new features were described and demonstrated,
allowing us to get a fairly good overview of what is going to come for
SOA Suite - later in 2013 and sometime in 2014 (probably the first half
of that year).
The SOA Suite plays an important part in the three
themes Thomas Kurian set down for the Fusion Middleware suite of
products: support for mobility, cloud and business user empowerment.
Some of the highlighted new aspects of Oracle SOA Suite are:
Adapters
to connect from on-premise to in-the-cloud – specifically targeting
SalesForce, RightNow and also providing an SDK to create custom
integrations into the cloud (the first cloud adapters will be released
on 11g, before the end of the year)
Mobile enablement by
exposing RESTful services that communicate using JSON as well as adding
the capability to call out to such services (12c functionality)
Enhanced functionality on Exalogic (of course it runs faster on Exalogic, up to 20 times)
Modular runtime with a lighter footprint.
A
brief demonstration of the Cloud Adapter was given by Demed L’Her
during said keynote. The next screenshot shows the Adapter wizard for
the Cloud Adapter.
It
allows the developer to pick a specific operation for a specific
business object exposed by RightNow (or SalesForce) (the adapter knows
about the APIs exposed by RightNow and SalesForce):
This
next screenshot shows the adapter that is used in SOA Suite 12c to
expose a RESTful service on top of an SCA Composite or a Service Bus
service: Read the full article here.
