Building SOA-Based Composite Applications Using NetBeans IDE 6

May 1, 2010 by BPELforum

Product Description

In Detail

Composite applications aid businesses by stitching together various componentized business capabilities. In the current enterprise scenario, empowering business users to react quickly to the rapidly changing business environment is the topmost priority. With the advent of composite applications the `reuse’ paradigm has moved from the technical aspect to the business aspect. You no longer re-use a service. You re-use a business process. Now enterprises can define their own behaviors optimized for their businesses through metadata and flows. This business process composition has become increasingly important for constructing business logic.

The ability of composite applications to share components between them nullifies the distinction between actual applications. Business users should be able to move between the activities they need to do without any actual awareness that they are moving from one domain to another.

The composite application design enables your company to combine multiple heterogeneous technologies into a single application, bringing key application capabilities within reach of your business user. Enterprises creating richer composite applications by leveraging existing interoperable components increase the organization’s ability to respond quickly and cost-effectively to emerging business requirements.

While there are many vendors offering various graphical tools to create composite applications, this book focuses on using the BPEL service engine from the OpenESB project for solving business integration problems. Project OpenESB implements an Enterprise Service Bus runtime using Java Business Integration (JBI) as the base. This allows easy integration of web services to create loosely coupled enterprise-class composite applications.

The objective of this book is to help enterprise application architects and developers to understand various SOA tools available as part of the NetBeans IDE that will enable them to build an enterprise-grade, scalable application in a short period using a single development interface. The NetBeans SOA tools form an open-source and freely available add-on to the NetBeans IDE that is targeted for enterprise application development. This pack contains open-sourced features from Sun’s Java Studio Enterprise and Java CAPS products, as well as all-new features for creating composite applications, BPEL-based web services, secure Java EE web services, and real-world XML artifacts like XML Schema and WSDL. Part of NetBeans Enterprise Pack is integrated with NetBeans 6.0, so you don’t need to download additional add-ons or plug-ins if you are using NetBeans version 6.0 or higher. However, not all OpenESB components are integrated with NetBeans 6.0. For instance you may not be able to create an Intelligent Event Processor using the standard NetBeans IDE; these components can be downloaded and installed into the NetBeans IDE.

What you will learn from this book?

Basic understanding of SOA and BPEL Processes
Setting up NetBeans IDE, OpenESB runtime, and BPEL engine
Designing BPEL processes
Packaging and deploying BPEL processes
JBI runtime and GlassFish Application Server.
Using the JBI service engine in NetBeans
OpenESB Binding Components, Service Engines, and other tools
Using the WSDL Editor for enterprise applications
Rapid development and testing with the XML schema designer
Working with the Intelligent Event Processor (IEP) module and the IEP Service Engine
Fault handling within a BPEL process

Approach

This book introduces basic SOA concepts and shows how you can use NetBeans and OpenESB tools to design and deploy composite applications. After introducing the SOA concepts, you are introduced to various NetBeans Editors and aids that you need to understand and work with for designing a composite application. For example you are introduced to a WSDL editor before dealing with web services. The last part of the book deals with a full-fledged incremental example on how you can build a complex composite application with key screenshots accompanied by the source code available on the website.

Who this book is written for?

This book is for enterprise developers and architects interested in using NetBeans IDE and OpenESB tools to build their SOA based applications.

Building Oracle XML Applications

April 29, 2010 by BPELforum

Product Description
XML (Extensible Markup Language)has emerged as the industry standard for describing data for e-commerce, particularly for business-to-business exchange. Oracle Corporation supports XML in a wide range of products, and the company describes Oracle8i, its “Internet database” as “the first XML-enabled database.” XML is a key part of the company’s e-business strategy. Building Oracle XML Applications gives both Java and PL/SQL developers a rich and detailed look at the range of available Oracle XML technologies. The book shows how to combine the power of XML and XSLT with the speed, functionality, and reliability of the Oracle database to build flexible applications. The author delivers nearly 800 pages of entertaining text, helpful and time-saving hints, and extensive examples that developers can put to use immediately to build custom XML applications. Products covered include:

JDeveloper

XSLT Processor

XML Parser

interMedia

Advanced Queuing

The accompanying CD-ROM contains JDeveloper 3.1, an integrated development environment for Java developers.Amazon.com Review
Aimed at Oracle professionals planning or doing XML work, this in-depth guide, covering Oracle8 and Oracle8i, comes from Oracle’s lead XML technical evangelist, Steve Muench. No prior knowledge of XML is required to dive into the book, but readers are assumed to be familiar with SQL and with programming using Java or PL/SQL.

Building Oracle XML Applications introduces XML, gives an overview of Oracle XML technologies, and shows what they do and how they fit together. There is a focus on JDeveloper, Oracle’s Java and XML development tool, which can be installed from the CD-ROM, and there are plenty of hands-on examples of how to use it. Then there are chapters on processing XML with PL/SQL or Java, transforming XML with XSLT, publishing data with XSQL pages, generating datagrams (XML documents used for exchanging data), and techniques for storing and loading XML data. The final section concentrates on Oracle XML applications, and topics include an XSQL publishing framework, Java extension functions, and using XSQL and XSLT to build personalized portals and discussion forums.

This fast-paced handbook is packed with example code. The presentation is clear, and the technical content is based on the author’s deep knowledge of Oracle in general and XML technologies in particular. Highly recommended. –Tim Anderson, Amazon.co.uk
