This cookbook is full of immediately usable recipes showing how to efficiently develop on the Oracle Service Bus. In addition to its cookbook style, which ensures the solutions are presented in a clear step-by-step manner, the explanations go into great detail, which makes it good learning material for everyone who has experience with the OSB and wants to improve. Most of the recipes are designed in such a way that each recipe is presented as a separate, standalone entity and reading of prior recipes is not required. The finished solution of each recipe is also made available electronically.

The 80+ recipes are organized into the following chapters (the digit behind the title showing the number of recipes in that chapter):

• Creating a basic OSB service (13)
• Working efficiently with OSB artifacts in Eclipse OEPE (7)
• Messaging with JMS transport (9)
• Using EJB and JEJB transport (5)
• Using HTTP transport (5)
• Using File and Mail transports (5)
• Using JCA adapter to communicate to the database (6)
• Using SOA Direct transport to communicate with SOA Suite (4)
• Communication, Flow Control and Message Processing (10)
• Reliable communication with OSB (5)
• Handling Message-Level Security requirements (9)
• Handling Transport-Level Security requirements (4)

Almost a year ago the author team meet at our SOA & BPM Community Forum in Utrecht.  Guido Schmutz our OSB guru from Swiss formed a team that delivered the book in less than 12 months! Congratulations to all the authors Guido Schmutz, Edwin Biemond, Jan van Zoggel , Mischa Kölliker and Eric Elzinga!

Vom 29. Februar bis 01. März 2012 finden in München die nächsten SOA, BPM & Integration Days. Im besonderen Fokus der Konferenz stehen diesmal drei Schwerpunkte:

• Adaptive Prozesse
• SOA-Security
• Systemintegration

In zwölf Sessions, einem Speaker Panel, zwei Keynotes und insgesamt sechs Workshops erhalten Teilnehmer innerhalb von zwei Tagen – ohne jeglichen Marketingfilter – wertvolles Know-how, Erfahrungen und Erkenntnisse für die tägliche Projektarbeit sowie für zukünftige strategischen Entscheidungen.

Themen sind diesmal unter anderem: Wie baue ich SSO in meine SOA-Landschaft ein?; Klassische BPM-Projekte und adaptive Ansätze; STS in OpenSource am Beispiel von CXF; Anforderungsanalyse für SOA-Services mittels BPMN 2.0 und UML; Activiti; Agile Prozesse mit Rules und BPM; Kopplung von MDM- und Middleware- Integrationsansätzen; BPMN in der Praxis; SOA-Security; Model Driven SOA – praxisorientiertes Vorgehen mit der BPMN & UML; Adaptive Prozesse mit der Oracle BPM Suite und viele mehr.

In den SOA, BPM & Integration Days profitieren Softwarearchitekten, IT- und Projektleiter vom Praxiswissen der bedeutendsten Experten, Vordenker und Praktiker aus dem jeweiligen Themengebiet. Vor Ort erleben Sie beispielsweise die Autorenrunde des SOA Spezial Magazins (Publikation von Software & Support Media), bekannte Buchautoren sowie hochkarätige Sprecher der Jax-Konferenzen.

Alle Infos finden Interessenten auf: www.soa-bpm-days.de

We are excited to invite you to our jointly organized SOA, BPM & WebCenter Partner Community Forum on February 7th & 8th 2012 in Malaga Spain.

Fusion Middleware runs on WebLogic and in most of the SOA & BPM Projects WebCenter and ADF skills are required. In Malaga 2012, we will combine the communities to give you the opportunity to network and learn from each other.

We have recently published our BPM Maturity model and a BPM Integration Demo with E-Business Suite. We will continue to offer our SOA & BPM Specialization plaques to our specialized partners. Please make sure to take the maximum advantage from this unique opportunity and get your recognition!

At last but not least, with a hope to bring the best for our communities members, I wish you all a happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year ahead.I hope this new year will bring lots of new opportunities for our Communities members.

Till we meet again!
