How to Add Business Rules to a SOA Composite Application

To work with Oracle Business Rules in a SOA composite application you use Oracle JDeveloper to create an application, a project, and then add a business rule component.

To create a SOA application with business rules:

  1. Create a SOA application and project. For more information, see How to Create a SOA Application and Project. For a SOA composite using business rules, pick the required technologies for your application. For example, you may need the following for a SOA application with business rules: ADF Business Components, Java, and XML. You move these items to the Selected area on the Project Technologies tab.
  2. In the Applications window, if the SOA composite editor is not showing, then in your project expand SOA Content folder and double-click composite.xml to launch the SOA composite editor.
  3. From the Components window, drag-and-drop a Business Rule from the Service Components area of the SOA menu to the Components lane of the SOA composite editor, as shown in Figure 25-12.
