Both Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle Unified Business Process Management Suite make it possible to embed Java code as a Service Component Architecture (SCA) first-class citizen through the Spring component implementation type. Thereby the coarse-grained components of Oracle SOA Suite are extended by the much-finer-grained Spring beans wrapped inside the Spring component. This session presents five cool use cases for the Spring component. It shows how and why you would want to use the Spring component and will hopefully inspire attendees to use it for their own projects.
