Oracle ADF and Fusion Middleware

Today I browsed through some nice sessions on the Oracle ADF Framework.
I heard from the framework but not know what I can expect from the Framework and how it is related to SOA and Fusion Middleware.
The Framework is actually quite big and implements the Model-View-Controller architectural pattern which makes GUI development easier to develop and maintain.

Oracle sets it as "next generation" Web User Interfaces for
  • Fusion Applications
  • Middleware components like Enterprise Manager
  • WebCenter Spaces

The next picture shows an overview of the components of ADF.

So I asked myself how is this Framework to be positioned with Oracle SOA Suite, Oracle BPM Suite and Oracle Service Bus?
The next picture shows its place.


In my view within a SOA 5-layering architecture:

  • ADF can perfectly be used within the development of the presentation layer.
  • The OSB is generally used as an abstraction between all 5 layers. This means that all Services (Task Services, Entity Services and Utility Services) are exposed through OSB

But as I said, I am not an ADF expert, so ADF experts out there, how do you place ADF within your SOA Architecture?

OSB 10gR3 and SWA and MTOM

This blog is about using soap with attachments and the use of MTOM within the OSB (10gR3). A service is created that accepts a soap with attachment (DocumentService) and translates it to a service that accepts a binary element. MTOM is used for performance reasons for the second. Some notes: * For the use of attachments you need RPC-style document instead of the usual document-style. This due to the fact that the document-style limits a message to a single . * A service can not have both SWA and MTOM within OSB. First a WSDL is setup for the DocumentService: The $attachments variable holds the attachments and the body holds the attachment data. Also other data is stored within the attachment element (see h

Microservices mindmap

"The tree" - See also   my photo page When you are fairly new within the Microservices land, there are a lot of terms fired at you. So also for my own understanding i have made a mindmap. I think it has a good status now, so that i can share it with you. As always feedback is very welcome ! You can download the mindmap here .

Book review: Data Management at Scale (Piethein Strengholt)

 This blog is a review of the book "Data Management at Scale (See also at bol.com ) Data Management is a hot topic nowadays and this book does a fantastic job at adding value to this topic. It is a must read and one of the few technical books I finished reading in a weekend. The book gives a fantastic overview on how to implement a Data Mesh data architecture. The Data Mesh concept is explained by Martin Fowler here . The book is a good mix between conceptual and implementation architecture level. It gives a lot of examples of how this architecture at scale can work, for both small and big companies. It is practical and I used it to implement it at one of my customers. The book describes an architecture in which the focus is on the DIAL (Data- and Integration Access Layer).  On a high level the book covers the following topics: The key principles for data management at scale - Domain-Driven Design  - Domain Data Stores - Meta data management Ready Data Store The concept of servin
