Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0) provides not only the core Oracle Application Server components, such as Oracle Containers for J2EE and Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server. Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0) also provides a suite of Oracle software components that provide you with the tools you need to implement a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) for your business.
After you upgrade your applications from 10g (9.0.4) or 10g Release 2 (10.1.2), you can optionally take advantage of the Oracle SOA Suite.
Refer to the following sections for more information:
Oracle SOA Suite is a standards-based best-of-breed technology suite that consists of the following:
Integrated Service Environment (ISE) to develop services
Oracle BPEL Process Manager to orchestrate services into business processes
Oracle Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) to connect existing IT systems and business partners as a set of services
Oracle Business Rules for dynamic decisions at runtime that can be managed by business users or business analysts
Oracle Business Activity Monitoring to monitor services and disparate events and provide real-time visibility into the state of the enterprise, business processes, people, and systems.
Oracle Web Services Manager to secure and manage authentication, authorization, and encryption policies on services that is separate from your service logic
UDDI registry to discover and manage the lifecyle of Web services.
Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0) to provide a complete Java 2, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) 1.4-compliant environment for your J2EE applications.
For an introduction to Oracle SOA Suite, refer to the Oracle Application Server Quick Tour, which introduces you to the Oracle SOA Suite and guides you on a tour of the SOA Order Booking application. The SOA Order Booking application demonstrates how a number of applications, both internal to an enterprise, and external at other sites, can be integrated using the SOA architecture paradigm to create one cohesive ordering system.
You can install Oracle SOA Suite as part of the 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0) installation procedure, or you can install only the Oracle Application Server core components and then install the Oracle SOA Suite later.
Refer to the following sections for more information:
To install Oracle SOA Suite as part of an 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0) installation, select one of the following options when running Oracle Universal Installer to install 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0):
Select the Basic installation type.
OR
Select Advanced and then select the J2EE Server, Web Server, and SOA Suite installation type.
Both of these installation options install Oracle SOA Suite; for the differences between these two installation types, as well as complete instructions for installing 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0), see the Oracle Application Server Installation Guide for your platform.
To install Oracle SOA Suite later:
Install 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0) using any of the Advanced installation types, except the J2EE Server, Web Server, and SOA Suite installation type. These installation types install the core components only.
Later, install the SOA components, one-by-one, using the individual installation procedures for each of the SOA components.
Table 5-1 includes a list of the documentation resources available to help you install the Oracle SOA Suite components.
