PHP Oracle Web Development: Data processing, Security, Caching, XML, Web Services, and Ajax: A practical guide to combining the power, performance, scalability, … time, and high performance of PHP

May 1, 2010 by BPELforum

Product Description

A practical guide to combining the power, performance, scalability, and reliability of the Oracle Database with the ease of use, short development time, and high performance of PHP

  • Program your own PHP/Oracle application
  • Move data processing inside the database
  • Distribute data processing between the web/PHP and Oracle database servers
  • Create reusable building blocks for PHP/Oracle solutions
  • Use up-to-date technologies, such as Ajax and web services, in PHP Oracle development

In Detail

Oracle Database gets high marks for performance, reliability, and scalability. Building and deploying your PHP applications on Oracle Database enables you to combine the power and robustness of Oracle and the ease of use, short development time, and high performance of PHP. When used in a complementary way, PHP and Oracle allow you to build high-performance, scalable, and reliable data-driven Web applications with a minimum of effort.

When building a PHP/Oracle application, you have two general options. The first is to use an Oracle database just to store data, performing all the operations on that data on the client side; the other is to use the database not only to store data, but also to process it, thus moving data processing to the data. While building the key business logic of a database-driven PHP application inside the database is always a good idea, you should bear in mind that not all of the databases available today allow you to do. The Oracle database, which offers record-breaking performance, scalability, and reliability, does. The partnership of Oracle and the open-source scripting language PHP is an excellent solution for building high-performance, scalable, and reliable data-driven web applications.

This 100% practical book is crammed full of easy-to-follow examples. It provides all the tools a PHP/Oracle developer needs to take advantage of the winning combination. It addresses the needs of a wide spectrum of PHP/Oracle developers, placing the emphasis on the most up-to-date topics, such as new PHP and Oracle Database features, stored procedure programming, handling transactions, security, caching, web services, and Ajax.

What you will learn from this book?

  • Install and configure PHP and Oracle software
  • Connect PHP with Oracle
  • Move key application business logic into the database
  • Build transactional PHP/Oracle applications
  • Use security features of PHP and Oracle
  • Improve performance with caching
  • Employ XML features of PHP and Oracle
  • Implement SOAP Web services with PHP and Oracle
  • Build Ajax-driven PHP/Oracle solutions

Approach

Through numerous examples, this book shows you how to build simple and efficient PHP applications on top of Oracle, efficiently distributing data processing between the Web/PHP server and Oracle Database server.

Who this book is written for?

Although this book covers only the most popular and up-to-date topic areas on the use of PHP in conjunction with Oracle, the author does not make any assumption about the skill level of the reader. Packed with information in an easy-to-read format, the book is ideal for any PHP developer who deals with Oracle.

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:

    XSQL pages and the XSQL servlet

    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

SOA and WS-BPEL: Composing Service-Oriented Architecture Solutions with PHP and Open-Source ActiveBPEL

April 27, 2010 by BPELforum

Product Description

Composing Service-Oriented Architecture Solutions with PHP and Open-Source ActiveBPEL

  • Build Web Services with PHP
  • Combine PHP Web Services into orchestrations with WS-BPEL
  • Use better WS-BPEL to enable parallel processing and asynchronous communication
  • Simplify WS-BPEL development with free graphical tool ActiveBPEL Designer

In Detail

When utilized within a Service-oriented Architecture (SOA), Web Services are part of a business process determining the logical order of service activities – logical units of work performed by one or more services. Today, the most popular tool for organizing service activities into business processes is Web Services Business Process Execution Language (WS-BPEL), a language defining an execution format for business processes operating on Web Services. While it is not a trivial task to define a business process definition with WS-BPEL from scratch, using a graphical WS-BPEL tool can significantly simplify this process.

Examples and practice are much more valuable than theory when it comes to building applications using specific development tools. Unlike many other books on SOA in the market, this book is not focused on architecture. Instead, through numerous examples, it discusses practical aspects of SOA and WS-BPEL development, showing you how to apply architecture in practice with the help of PHP, ActiveBPEL open-source engine, and ActiveBPEL Designer – powerful development tools available for free.

What you will learn from this book?

  • Install and configure the software components required to build PHP Web Services and then combine them into WS-BPEL solutions
  • Use PHP as the underlying technology for creating building blocks for SOAs
  • Build data-centric services based on MySQL or Oracle Database XE
  • Secure services built with PHP SOAP extension
  • Combine fine-grained services built with PHP into coarse-grained ones with WS-BPEL
  • Deploy WS-BPEL process services to ActiveBPEL open-source engine
  • Simplify WS-BPEL development with ActiveBPEL Designer
  • Implement asynchronous interactions between WS-BPEL processes

Approach

With the help of many examples, the book explains how to build Web Services with PHP, combine them into SOAs with WS-BPEL, and then deploy composite WS-BPEL-based solutions to the ActiveBPEL engine. The examples in this book are presented in a way that anyone can understand and apply.

Who this book is written for?

This book is suitable for anyone who wants to start building SOA applications using powerful tools available free of charge. It also will be useful for PHP developers willing to move towards Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA).

Readers need only a basic knowledge of SOA, BPEL, and Web Services; even a total beginner will be able to follow the examples, provided the required software components are installed on his or her computer. More experienced readers might use this book as a reference, focusing only on the chapters of interest.
