Installing Oracle SOA Suite atop XE Database
Posted by Sébastien Stormacq in Oracle on 20/01/2011
| Although not officially supported, installing Oracle SOA Suite a top of the lightweight XE database is often convenient for development, demo or training purpose. It avoids going through the complete installation of her big brother : the complete Oracle Database 11g system.
XE is less than 220 Mb download and Installing it on a Linux system is as simple as rpm -ivh oracle-xe.rpm However, there is some caveats, i.e. some system parameters to tweak before installing SOA Suite’s database schemas using Repository Creation Utility (RCU). |
|
In the same spirit as my previous blog entry : here are the magical incantations for the database gods, to be executed before RCU.
First connect to the database :
sqlplus sys/yourpassword@XE as sysdba
(be sure to have /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin in your PATH)
SQL> show parameter processes //processes should be 40 – must be 200
SQL> alter system set processes = 200 scope=spfile;
SQL> show parameter session;
SQL> alter system reset sessions scope=spfile sid='*';
SQL> shutdown immediate;
SQL> exit;
then restart XE with :
sudo /etc/init.d/oracle-xe start
Finally, as stated on SOA Suite download page :
“If you want to use XE you can set the RCU_JDBC_TRIM_BLOCKS environment variable to TRUE *prior* to running RCU. As a reminder as to support level, when running RCU against XE you will receive a warning stating that the database version is not supported by Oracle.”
You must issue
export RCU_JDBC_TRIM_BLOCKS=true
before starting RCU. Failing to do so will cause WebLogic to issue a bunch of database related exceptions at startup time.
That’s it ! You can now proceed with RCU to install SOA Suite’s database schemas.
Enjoy !
An easy way to evaluate Oracle SOA / BPM offering
Posted by Sébastien Stormacq in Java, Oracle on 06/12/2010
| One of the big pain when willing to evaluate the SOA or BPM offering from Oracle is the installation process. These are not simple toys to play with, they require some hundreds of Mb to download and some patience to carefully install all components and their dependencies.
Unless you have a good tutorial or book at hands, the result is likely to fail, believe me. I’ve been there, I’ve done that. The good news, is that we are helping you out by providing Virtual Machines images, ready to run and pre-installed with all the software you will need : the database, the application server, the SOA suite with BPM and BAM. Patience is only required during the 6Gb download now. Be sure to have the latest version of Virtual Box installed on your machine and a few Gbs (2-3 at least) available for the virtual machine. Enjoy ! |

Oracle + Sun SOA Strategy
Posted by Sébastien Stormacq in Java on 29/01/2010
Since Oracle’s Sun acquisition completed on January 27th, Oracle started a massive communication campaign to detail product’s roadmap and integration.
Regarding SOA products and technology strategy and integration, you can view the full web cast (17 minutes) or just read through my summary below.
Oracle will obviously continue to focus on it’s Fusion Middleware offering, and more specifically, Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle Service Bus (formerly known as Aqualogic Service Bus from Bea). This is the strategic SOA platform for the future.
- Java CAPS will be maintained and improved for existing customers
- GlassFish ESB will continue as an open source project
- Oracle plans to support collaboration between Java CAPS and Oracle SOA Suite through bridges technology, allowing to bring new features to Java CAPS such as SOA Governance, Workflow etc …
- Oracle expects to integrate key features of Java CAPS into Oracle SOA Suite
Oracle also extends the End of Support dead line for SRE 5.0.5, eGate 4.5.3, GlassFish ESB 2.1 and Java CAPS 6.2 to January 2014 (premium support) or Jan 2017 (extended support)
As always, Oracle also proposes a lifetime sustaining support.
By the way, for those of you wanted to start with Oracle’s SOA Suite, my colleague Patrice just published an excellent three-parts tutorial in addition to the material published by Oracle.
WS-Security with GlassFish ESB
Posted by Sébastien Stormacq in Uncategorized on 12/10/2009
When selling GlassFish ESB to partners, we (Sun) have to provide our partners with all the material allowing them a quick ramp-up on our technology. That’s the main reason why my group (Sales Engineers, Northern Europe) created a 3 days GlassFish ESB technical workshop.
My contribution to this workshop is a one hour module about WS-Security and GlassFish ESB (and OpenESB). The idea is to demonstrate how easy it is to setup a WS-Security enabled channel between a web service provider and a web service client.
Specifically, the screencast tutorial shows how to establish mutual certificate authentication between an EJB based web service and a JBI service assembly, acting as web service client, in this case, a BPEL module.
The module is now released online, booth as PDF slides and as a screencast tutorial.
To learn more about WS-Security, I recommend this reading.

Java CAPS received Swift Certification 2009
Posted by Sébastien Stormacq in General on 24/07/2009
Java CAPS, Sun’s SOA platform has been certified by Swift for 2009. We passed the very strict Swift test suite and received the much convoyed "Financial EAI 2009" Swift label.
Java CAPS has received this certification for eleven (11) years in a row !
