For definitions of unfamiliar terms found in this and other books, see the Glossary.
In Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c, there are two categories of web services to support the development, security, and administration of the following types of web services:
Oracle Infrastructure web services—SOA, Application Development Framework (ADF), Oracle Service Bus, and Oracle Enterprise Scheduler services
Java EE web services—SOAP (JAX-WS) and RESTful (JAX-RS) web services
For more information about the web service and client types, see "Overview of Web Services in Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c" in Understanding Web Services.
For more information about Java EE web services, see Understanding WebLogic Web Services for Oracle WebLogic Server.
The following table summarizes the Oracle Infrastructure web service specifications that are part of the Oracle implementation, organized by high-level feature.
Oracle considers interoperability of web services platforms to be more important than providing support for all possible edge cases of the web services specifications. Oracle complies with the following specifications from the Web Services Interoperability Organization and considers them to be the baseline for web services interoperability:
Basic Profile 1.1 and 1.0: http://www.ws-i.org/Profiles/BasicProfile-1.1-2004-08-24.html
Basic Security Profile 1.0: http://www.ws-i.org/Profiles/BasicSecurityProfile-1.0.html
WS-I Attachments Profile 1.0: http://www.ws-i.org/Profiles/AttachmentsProfile-1.0.html
Note:
