Oracle Fusion Middleware expands open standards for next-generation SOA ____oracle

BEIJING, October 24, 2006-Oracle Fusion Middleware will be used in Oracle Convergence middleware in San Francisco's 2006 Oracle Global Technology and Applications conference to provide further open and flexible IT environments for developers and customers Further expand open standards for the establishment, deployment, management and maintenance of various service-oriented applications. Oracle has been a leader in open standards since 25, and Oracle is now the main publisher of hundreds of new technology standards, while continuing its efforts to maintain a leading position in a variety of emerging standards areas that fully expand the Java language, service-oriented architecture (SOA), Web 2.0 and security.

At present, it is well known that market-led technical standards can provide real benefits to it suppliers and customers. By leveraging Oracle Fusion middleware to promote and support open technology standards, Oracle can help its customers and partners reduce application development time and maintenance costs, increase interoperability between systems, and ensure reuse of applications-helping to increase the value of existing IT investments while preventing vendor lock-in. Oracle will further promote, develop and support the following new open standards in Oracle converged middleware:

• Next-generation Java language application development

To simplify the process of developing data-intensive applications, Oracle supports Java Server Faces, Apache Struts, JPA, EJB 3.0, SDO, O-r, and o-xml mappings, rest, and spring Framework2.0.

• Service-oriented architecture (SOA) and composite applications

To enable an enterprise service-oriented Architecture (SOA), Oracle supports the component-oriented SOA infrastructure and applications through the Java API, which can be used for XML RPC (JAX-RPC), XML Web Services (JAX-WS) Java APIs , SCA, XML Query, XPath, XSLT, Javajbi, BPEL2.0, BPMN, BPDM, Ws-policy, ws-distributed Management, ws-reliable messaging, Ws-addressing and Ws-eventing. Oracle also supports a variety of interactive non-Web service types, such as atom and rest Web services.

Web 2.0, Portal and Enterprise aggregation

Oracle supports heterogeneous JavaScript and XML (AJAX), RSS, WSRP 2.0, and so on, in order to support rich, dynamic, multi-channel interactive applications and implement collaborative Web 2.0 technologies, such as wikis and blogs in enterprise software, through technologies such as VoIP. XHTML, DHTML, JSR-168, JSR-170, and Adobe Flash.

• Enterprise security and service-oriented architecture (SOA) security

To maintain service-oriented applications and support secure "enterprise to Enterprise" interactions, Oracle supports a number of key standards such as ws-security, SAML 2.0, ws-fed, Ws-trust, XKMS, XACML, SPML, XML Enc, Xml-sig and DSML.

• Industry-specific Solutions

To further promote the application of SOA and new technologies in specific vertical industries, Oracle supports key industry standards in communications, healthcare, retailing, and High-tech industries, such as Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), ParLAY Web Services, Ipims, JSR-116, and Java API for JaIN. Oracle also supports other types of key technologies, such as EPCglobal for RFID, EbXML, HL7, RosettaNet, EDI X12, EDIFact, EDI as/2 (Internet edi), and so on.

"Standards have always been at the heart of Oracle's products because our customers are looking for simple, optional and collaborative products in the IT field they are engaged in," said Thomas Kurian, senior vice president of Oracle's server technology department. Oracle Fusion Middleware is based on open standard technology, which provides customers with a variety of choices and helps them find a strong productivity developer. Oracle will remain committed to maintaining its leadership in defining and implementing key new technology standards and providing a market area for hot-swappable middleware architectures. The
