The document provides an overview of Oracle SOA Suite 11g presented by Lonneke Dikmans at an OTN Nordic tour event. It discusses the key components of SOA Suite 11g including BPEL, Spring, Mediator, Business Rules, and Human Task. For each component, it describes common uses, alternatives, examples, and best practices. The presentation concludes with a summary of the components and their alternatives.

11. Components | BPEL best practices
Use
●
●
●
●
●
Claim check pattern
Simple variables, not big objects
Test for null in XPath
Testing framework
Error handling
Common mistakes
● Programming in BPEL
•
•
Translating business rules to process flow
Calculations
● Long running transactions
● Using it as a data cache
● User interface logic
11
|
35

12. Components | Spring
Use
● Calculations
● Reuse libraries /
existing components
Alternative
● Deploy a bean (reference)

14. Components | Spring example
14
|
35

15. Components | Spring best practices
Do
● Use Java quality tools (Unit testing, Findbug etc)
● Spring or external service
Common mistakes
● Java inside BPEL -> requires restart of server
● Java inside OSB flow -> requires restart of server
● Flow logic in Spring component
15

16. Components | Mediator
Use
● Routing
● Transformation
● Sequencing of messages
Alternative
● BPEL for routing
● OSB
● Queuing (AQ)

18. Components | Mediator example
18
|
35

19. Components | Mediator best practices
Do
● Think about transactions
● Think about parallel versus serial routing rules
Common mistakes
● Put everything in BPEL (Not use mediator)
● Use OSB as part of your composite
19
|
35

20. Components | Business rules
Use
● Rules depending on
Attributes of Object
● Edit outside of
composite
Alternative
● Case management
● Java
● BPEL
● Mediator
● Case management (BPM)

22. Components | Business rules example
22
|
35

23. Components | Business rules best practice
Do
● Create dictionaries
● Test your rules, this is *NOT* trivial!
Common mistakes
● Programming in business rules
● Ignore them because it sounds complicated
● Treat them as ‘regular if-then-else’
23
|
35

24. Components | Human Task
Use
● Human step
● Deadline
● Approval & escalation
● Notifications
Alternative
● User interface logic
● N/A
● BPEL
● N/A

27. Components | Human Task best practices
Use
● Claim check pattern
● Workflow patterns
● Notification and escalation
Common mistakes
● Generate the UI from the task definition
● Small steps
