For ages, software companies have had maven repositories to manage their artifacts. Using maven’s dependencies system, you can easily add new libraries to your project without needing to know which other libraries you needed and maven will even download them for you. So the times of adding a library…compiling…class-not-found…adding another library…compiling…next-class-not-found where over. Unless you needed some oracle libraries! Up to now, Oracle did not have a public repository so Continue ReadingThe Oracle Maven repository available now!→

OFM

In this article I will show how to use the new templating functionality in Oracle Service Bus 12C. When building a lot of services through different projects, you will always duplicate certain functionality such as Logging, Validation etc… All conform your current development rules and guidelines of the project. This means tedious copying and pasting of certain pieces of code and the old OEPE IDE isn’t always precise with that. Continue ReadingCreating a template in Oracle Service Bus 12C→

We deployed it, ran our unit test again but it seemed to ignore the 2 Continue ReadingSynchronous BPEL process with a wait activity fails with a timeout→
