This chapter describes how to deploy SOA composite applications. You can deploy single composites, multiple composites, and composites using shared data such as WSDLs, XSDs, and other file types with Oracle JDeveloper and the ant scripting tool, and create configuration plans for moving SOA composite applications to and from different environments.

This chapter includes the following sections:

• Introduction to Deployment

• Deployment Prerequisites

• Understanding the Packaging Impact

• Anatomy of a Composite

• Preparing the Target Environment

• Customizing Your Application for the Target Environment Before Deployment

• Deploying SOA Composite Applications or Projects in Oracle JDeveloper

• Deploying and Managing SOA Composite Applications with the WLST Utility

• Deploying and Managing SOA Composite Applications with ant Scripts

• Deploying SOA Composite Applications from Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control

• Deploying SOA Composite Applications with No Servers Running

• Importing XSLT Customizations into a Deployed SOA Composite Application

• Postdeployment Configuration

• Testing and Troubleshooting

• Patching Running Instances of a SOA Composite
