A Service Oriented Architecture consists of a number of building blocks. Oracle offers these blocks in the Oracle Fusion Middleware stack. In this presentation an overview of components or building blocks you need in a SOA is given. The Oracle Fusion Middleware stack is plotted on this architecture. Obviously customers can also choose to mix and match products from different vendors. This has both advantages and disadvantages. These issues are discussed and illustrated with some examples from real (anonymized) customers.

3. What is SOA | Definition
SOA = Service Oriented Architecture
● Architecture based on services
● A services gives access to a capability
Key features of a service
●
●
●
●
●
Interface, contract, implementation (example breakfast)
Consumer, provider, registry
Interoperable
Idempotent
Based on standards

● Building blocks need to be integrated with each other
è Enterprise Service Bus makes that easier

● Having multiple development environments works in big

Complete
Best of Breed
● Packaged apps are not the issue
● Development and integration are the issue
● Use it wisely
• front-end can be separated from the back-end
• database can be separated from the middleware
