Oracle SOA Suite Training: Day 1

Oracle DC facility is nice; it is in the heart of a tech-centric area called Reston that’s 15 miles west of DC.

Day 1 consisted of SOA overviews and installing the various pieces of the SOA Suite . Nothing real noteworthy on Day 1 except that everything runs on the Oracle Application Services (read: scary).

We did cover top-down WSDL-driven services vs. bottom-up services – cool stuff, same old Interface-driven development but much, much easier with Web Services. Does any actually create an object from scratch now? I doubt it... JDeveloper (as I'm sure most tools do now a days) allow you to right-click and create your entire Java source from the WSDL. Great stuff.

Wonder if WSDL black belts run the world in the future?
