OSB 10gR3 Service versioning

There has been a lot written and discussed about how to do Service versioning.
On LinkedIn there is a nice discussion about the WSDL versioning (read here). Also on InfoQ there is a nice article.

I like the strategy in which a minor and major version is used. A minor change is backwards compatible and only updates the documentation element within the WSDL. A major change, also changes the namespace (http://.../v2).

The following structure within the OSB can help to implement this strategy.


The advantages of this structure are:
* The different versions are nicely seperated and can be governed and maintained seperatly. Instead of having only one proxy for all versions and doing some content based routing.
* The two versionings can live together and in case the old version is deprecated the proxy can be deleted. This way "old" consumers do not have to migrate in case a major update is published, so they have the time to plan it.

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...

Cloud to Cloud Application Integration

A lot of applications have integration possibilities, so do cloud applications. The question I got from a customer is whether to have a point-to-point integration with Cloud applications or to go through their ESB solution. This blog describes some considerations. Context The customer has a HRM application in which job vacancies are managed. Furthermore that system also handles the full applicant process flow. They also have another cloud application that handles the job vacancies. This application posts the jobs to social sites and other channels to promote the vacancies. Furthermore this application has some intelligence for job seekers to advice some new vacancies based on previous visits or profiles. The job vacancies need to be sent to the Vacancies application and applicant information needs to be sent to the HRM application, when a job seeker actually applies for a job. Furthermore status information about the job application is als...
