Integration Types
Not long ago, the text book anser was that the only valid SOA communication is SOAP based web services.
In practice this is not realistic
Not all systems support web service...
In practice there are a number of communication systes that are commonly used
Oracle SOA will support all of these
- Web Services (SOAP or REST)
- Queues
- File Drop
Recommendations:
- Use SOAP web services for all communication outside of the Enterprise
- Standardize on either REST or SOAP fo web services within the Enterprise
- Most commucations will be quick with resonable sized docs Use Web services fr these
- for very large docs use files
- for batch processing use ques
- more to add
Oralce SOA is an Integration Suite.
