This book introduces Oracle Service Bus 11g. Oracle Service Bus 11g (11.1.1.6) is time tested as a heavyweight solution to the Enterprise Service Bus question while maintaining a lightweight and scalable architecture. It is a key component in SOA Integration efforts and hence is often referred to as the backbone of the SOA Solution. The purpose of OSB is to “glue” systems together by “mediating” interactions and massaging data. This approach allows wildly different system to integrate in a seamless fashion. This book is designed to be SIMPLE and take the user through a series of step by step labs that are complete with numerous screenshots. You literally start with the installation and go through development steps, administration steps, and finally a view of the monitoring features.
