Oracle Corporation Web Servers Oracle Corporation has been acquiring technologies and increasing targeted software and hardware market share. This has resulted in significant changes to the Oracle product line. With the acquisition of BEA Systems, WLS: WebLogic Server is being rebranded as Oracle WebLogic Application Server. Oracle's stated strategy is to make WebLogic Server its preferred application server. Complementary components from Oracle Application Server along with WebLogic Operations Control from BEA and Coherence from Tangosol also will be integrated into WebLogic Server. Tangosol Coherence Grid is an enabler for the rapidly growing use of XTP: Extreme Transaction Processing in financial services, telecommunications, travel and logistics industries.Challenge
During the convergence of functionality with the WebLogic Server, the challenge for Oracle customers will be managing differing application server environments and then migrating to a standardized platform.
In the interim, Oracle will be providing maintenance for current Oracle Application Server 10g customers. SYS-ED's staff and Computer Education Techniques Technology Partners have been evaluating and resolving the technical issues of both platforms as Oracle undertakes the product changes and commences the migration for its installed base of clients. This information has been incorporated into SYS-ED WebLogic courses and Oracle training programs.
The client is looking at adopting SOA: Service Oriented Architecture at two separate levels. 1. The internal services need to be exposed to consumers as web services. 2. The internal architecture needs to be converted to use BPEL: Business Process Execution Language and web services. The current architecture has been built upon a legacy mainframe infrastructure and it may not be realistic from a technical standpoint to convert to SOA or doing so would take a considerable expenditure of resources and time. SYS-ED will need to examine the existing hardware architecture and provide management with feedback on the degree of SOA that can be adopted by the organization after the training.
Some of the services need to be exposed as WSRP: Web Services for Remote Portlets. This will essentially offer the GUI front end for the services. This way, the consumer does not have to develop a front end application. The existing internal architecture uses a pub-sub style interaction instead of a request response type interaction. The training will provide guidance on whether this can be modeled using BPEL. The examples and hands-on workshops have been tailored in order to teach messaging and asynchronous communication:
