|
Service versioning |
No in-built versioning |
Fusion Middleware-based versioning |
- Compatible across releases
- Low upgrade cost and risk
|
Service interoperability |
Limited, no standard compliance |
WS Basic Profile 1.1 |
- Distributed coexistence

Server-managed session pooling |
None (client manages sessions) |
Managed JCA connection pool based on impersonation |
- No reliability or performance concerns due to suboptimal client session handling
- Not vulnerable to Denial of Service (DOS) attacks because sessions are managed by Oracle WebLogic Server rather than the client
