Oracle Retail Enterprise Integration Styles


There is no one integration approach that addresses all criteria equally well. Therefore, multiple approaches for integrating applications have evolved over time. Oracle Retail has focused on three main integration styles.

  • Asynchronous JMS Pub/Sub Fire-and-Forget
  • Request/Response
  • Bulk Data

The approach taken by Oracle Retail is not to choose one style to use every time but to choose the best style for a particular integration opportunity. Each style has its advantages and disadvantages. Applications or solutions may integrate using multiple styles so that each point of integration takes advantage of the style that suits it best. Oracle Retail Enterprise Integration Overview.

This version of the Integration Guide is concerned with the two integration styles that implement messaging patterns; Asynchronous JMS Pub/Sub Fire-and-Forget and Web Service Request Response.
