3) Integration Strategy 3: Oracle Suite

Complete integration with the ORACLE Suite

Most definitely one of the most comprehensive products in the markets all the offerings from one provider. Cool stuff but for academic eval I may not go in for it. Comes with a complete implementation.

WebServices Learning Path-01 December 30, 2007

WebServices - Learning it can be a little tricky especially with the host of all that implementations that are available from IBM, Sun, Apache….the list is huge. It’s difficult but hey it’s not like it can’t be learned that the challenge.

Proper docs and some much needed abstraction can go a long way.

I started out for this MS project of mine but that’s like reached a dead end, I’m reviving it.

First started out with the IDEs:

IntelliJ Idea well to be frank I ain’t got no idea how to start WS on this one.

Netbeans is cool. Saw some demos.

WebServices on Net Beans 5.5 Screen casts from Arun Gupta.
Referred sample code Bundled with NetBeans 5.5.

WebServices Tutorials on NetBeans

Sun’s implementation of web Services with JAX-WS rocks and the tooling is neat.

 

JDeveloper’s neat but to be frank I am not that comfortable with it like the way i’m on eclipse or NetBeans. But their documentation and OTN that their Dev Network is real neat. Guess I’ll check it out too.

My personal favorite and choice.To be frank I was all that impressed with the quality of webservices articles that were available at the community site. Guess I’ll wire up a couple of those. But the IBM DeveloperWorks rocks great collection of articles. Checkout the links for more.

Building Database Enabled Auction Service Site – Developer works
Deploying Web services on Europa using IBM Developerworks. Article.
This is nice article to start of with all you need is Apache tomcat and Eclipse with WTP.
