The Oracle SOA Suite is a core component in the Fusion Middleware stack. With the SOA Suite, organizations can implement a service oriented architecture that allows agile development across different technologies, providing the business services for various user interfaces as well as system to system and cloud to application integration scenarios. The brand new SOA Suite 12c release takes all of this to the next level. This presentation introduces SOA Suite 12c and highlights its core capabilities and best new features, including support for REST & JSON, integration of Service Bus in JDeveloper and Enterprise Manager, support for local development and debug, use of templates, new technology adapters and much enhanced development facilities for business rules, BAM and event processing. Note: because this presentation predates the general release of SOA Suite 12c, it discusses only information and material available in the public domain, primarily from Oracle OpenWorld 2013.

Challenges and Requirements
for WOA/MOA
• REST & JSON for easy access
• Caching to handle the load and provide 24/7
– availability mismatch between UI and back end
• Filter data - at right level
– data context/authorization
• Minimize number of network requests
– Invoke presentation services rather than accessing entity service
• Handle Offline/Online synchronization
• Support push notifications
• Personal cloud for user specific data and cross device experience
– Preferences and customizations, search & navigation history, in flight ‘transactions’

(no MFT, OEP, BAM)
– From Zero to Running Service in 30 minutes (not counting download)
• Debugging
• Refactoring
• Reuse through Templates, BPEL Sub Processes & Chainable Pipelines

34. 34
New components
• Enterprise Scheduler
• Managed File Transfer
• Adapters for
– LDAP
