Hi, having just quickly browsed the quick starters guide I noticed amongst other
things the following line:
"Oracle JDeveloper is the development component of Oracle SOA Suite."
Does this mean that Oracle isn't planning on supporting
any other IDE,say Eclipse, to create SOA solutions based on the Oracle stack?
How is this decision going to affect the work/effort that Oracle is delivering
for the Eclipse bpel plugin (http://www.eclipse.org/bpel/)?
Will Oracle stop pursuing a viable Eclipse BPEL plugin?
On a different note - referring to another question (on the OC4J forum) I asked -
I learned that 10.1.3.1.0 would have support for Groovy scripting, or so says
Steve Button in
1385732
Is this really the case?
In that same topic he says:
"Worth noting is that the production 10.1.3.1 distribution will be able to be applied as"
"a patch to an existing 10.1.3.0 installation to bring it up to 10.1.3.1 -- or it can be"
"installed as a fresh instance giving you 10.1.3.1. right out of the box."
As my download is still going to take I while, and I haven't found anything in the
installation manual about a "patch update" - I am wondering whether this has
made it into this developer's preview?
Just to be sure. There is mention in the quick starters guide of ADF:
"Oracle ADF is a model-driven SOA framework that automates and manages"
"businesses and data services and provides a standard data-and-service-binding"
"layer based on JSR 227 that can be used with process flows, page flows, and"
"service invocations."
Can somebody confirm that ADF
is not "hard-wired" into any of the actual, runtime
components of the Oracle SOA Suite?
And (for now) finally;
Are there any plans for Oracle Business Rules to support assertions on XML Facts,
without the necessity to use JAXB as an intermediary step? So instead of this use
direct XPath and/or XQuery logic?
