2 The SOA Order Booking Application

As a companion to this guide, the SOA Order Booking application was created to demonstrate how a number of applications, both internal to an enterprise and external at other sites, can be integrated using the SOA paradigm and Oracle SOA Suite to create one cohesive ordering system. It is used as an example throughout this guide to illustrate points and provide code samples.

Before examining the individual components and their source code in depth, you may find it helpful to install and become familiar with the functionality of the SOA Order Booking application.
