Integrating the Spring Framework in SOA Composite Applications

56 Integrating the Spring Framework in SOA Composite Applications

This chapter describes how to use the spring framework to integrate components that use Java interfaces into SOA composite applications. Oracle SOA Suite uses the spring framework functionality provided by the WebLogic Service Component Architecture (SCA) of Oracle WebLogic Server. This chapter also describes how to integrate components that use Java interfaces with components that use WSDL files in the same SOA composite application. It also describes using Java Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB) and the EclipseLink O/X-Mapper (OXM) to map Java classes to XML data.

This chapter includes the following sections:

Introduction to the Spring Service Component
Integration of Java and WSDL-Based Components in the Same SOA Composite Application
Creating a Spring Service Component in Oracle JDeveloper
Defining Custom Spring Beans Through a Global Spring Context
Using the Predefined Spring Beans
JAXB and OXM Support
Configuring Groovy and Aspectj Classes with the Spring Service Component
Troubleshooting Spring Errors
