Introduction to SOA Suite

Oracle Fusion Middleware SOA Suite provides a complete set of service infrastructure components for designing, deploying, and managing composite applications. Oracle Fusion Middleware SOA Suite enables services to be created, managed, and orchestrated into composite applications and business processes. Composites enable you to easily assemble multiple technology components into one SOA composite application. Oracle Fusion Middleware SOA Suite plugs into heterogeneous IT infrastructures and enables enterprises to incrementally adopt SOA.

Oracle SOA Suite provides a comprehensive suite of products for developing, securing, and monitoring service-oriented architecture (SOA). Oracle SOA Suite 11g provides a unified runtime based on the SCA standard. The runtime consists of Service Engines (BPEL Process Manager, Human Workflow, Mediator, Rules) and Binding Components (JCA Adapters, B2B) that are managed and inter-connected by a common Service Infrastructure. Service infrastructure also provides common services such as lifecycle management and deployment.
