What is SOA?

SOA is standard based method of system development and integration

What are the benefits?

  • Reusability
  • Integration
  • Interoperability
  • Agile development
  • Scalability
  • Cost Efficient

What are all the ways to implement services?

  • Point to point approach
  • Vendor specific implementation
  • CORBA
  • Web services
  • SCA-style implementation

What are Services?

  • Building blocks of SOA
  • Interface and message structure definitions
  • Standard protocol for interoperability

What are SOA standards?


What is SCA [Service Component Architecture]?

SCA provides a programming model for building applications using SOA

What are the difference between SOA and SCA?

  • SOA is an approach or implementation style and SCA uses SOA to build a composite application
  • SOA is architectural style but SCA is assembly model and defines/design

What are the elements of SCA?

What is SDO [Service Data Object]?

  • Representation of data source in XML format and specifes methods to create, delete and modify data
  • Simplify and unify the way in which applications handles the data

What is EDN [Event Driven Network]?

  • To handle asynchronous messaging arising from a business event
  • Supports publish and subscribe model
  • Aligns with Event driven Architecture [EDA]

have trindad-skins.xml in your web-inf folder and have the following tag

<skin>
 <id>dummy.desktop</id> // you are overriding the style
 <family>dummy</family>
 <extends>fusion.desktop</extends> // this should be from the trinidad-config.cml
 <render-kit-id>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.desktop</render-kit-id>
 <style-sheet-name>skins/dummy/dummy.css</style-sheet-name>
 <bundle-name>oracle.view.resource.rich.SkinBundle</bundle-name> // your skin bundle to override the name
 </skin>

here dummy.css is used to override any visual property of the faces component defined in fusion theme
to override the label, use in the SkinBundle like (The java bundle file should be registered as a managed bean in adfc-config.xml)

package oracle.view.resource.rich;
 import java.util.ListResourceBundle;
public class SkinBundle
 extends ListResourceBundle
 {
 @Override
 public Object[] getContents()
 {
 return _CONTENTS;
 }

static private final Object[] _CONTENTS =
 {
 { "af_panelCollection.LABEL_DETACH_TABLE_DLG", "Any name for the Detachable Table" },
 { "af_panelCollection.LABEL_DETACH_TREE_TABLE_DLG", "Any name for the Detachable Tree Table" }
 };
 }

closer look at the FacesServlet instance

This is always ignored as a default servlet that gets generated in the web.xml, but do we know the actual usage of this servlet?

All the JSF applications should include a mapping to this servlet in the deployment Descriptor. The usage of this servlet is that it

  • accepts all the incoming request
  • passes them to the lifecycle for processing
  • intializes the resources

it is usually defined in the web.xml file as

<servlet>
 <display-name>FacesServlet</display-name>
 <servlet-name>FacesServlet</servlet-name>
 <servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet
 </servlet-class>
 <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
 </servlet>

with corresponding mapping as well

<servlet-mapping>
 <servlet-name>FacesServlet</servlet-name>
 <url-pattern>/faces/*</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>

the servlet includes servlet lifecycle methods to initialize and process the request

init(ServletConfig) – FacesContextFactory,LifeCycleFactory is identified and the lifeCycle reference is obtained with the default lifecycle id
service() – the pathInfo is manipulated from WEB-INF and META-INF folder from the request, FacesContext is obtained, lifecycle is executed and rendered, later the context is released
destroy() – all the instances are destroyed.. technically speaking nullified
