This book covers a range of business scenarios and corresponding solution critiques. Each chapter is made up of a problem description, an assessment of the implementation options, and the selection and implementation of the ideal solution. We will cover the basics in the first few chapters, then we will delve into the depths of SOA patterns. "Applied SOA Patterns on the Oracle Platform" is aimed at architects practicing SOA or traditional integration; they will find complete guidance on how to implement SOA practice on the Oracle platform. This book is also for technical team leaders implementing Oracle Fusion under SCRUM or WF methodology, who want to learn to manage complex development using the blueprints for the most common and demanding SOA components. If you are someone simply looking for study material for SOA Architecture, both vendor-neutral and Oracle-centric, this book covers both topics extensively.
