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

I received a mail today from a Blogspot.com reader with the following question: "Is it possible, to connect a .net application (running on Microsoft SQL 2010), with an Oracle OSB and import data from a SQL-database" The reason I post this is that other people can also react and so we get more views on it. My view on it: Make a WebLogic webservice (using for instance OpenJPA) to get the data from the SQL database. Expose this webservice through the OSB Call this service from the .NET application This has the following advantages: * No tight coupling between application and SQL database * Reuse possibility of the data(base) service    

A couple of months ago I had a training in Codys BOP4 fundamentals and this week I developed my first demo bpm process with it. And I must say i was really impressed by the speed of development and out-of-the box functionality of the product!. The power of the product is the BPM part, but it also has an integration part. You can download a VM image here and there you find also a lot of documentation and tutorials. At the moment I am developing a demo for a customer, integrated with the Oracle OSB. Hope to blog more about the product soon.
