JDeveloper OFM capabilities
When discussing JDeveloper, we would really like to avoid the holy wars of JDev versus
Eclipse versus NetBeans. It has no relation to the SOA patterns, the subject of this topic.
We have to admit that JDeveloper is the perfect tool for SOA Suite and almost any other
type of development, except for the Oracle Service Bus ( OSB ). We either use the OSB
console or the Eclipse plugin (OEPE) to construct our OSB flows. Is this a drawback?
Certainly! A single tool that covers SCA/SOA Suite and OSB would unquestionably sim-
plify our life, but we have to remember that EBF (SCA composites and orchestration) and
EBS (service bus) are different frameworks; they are almost different universes. We
already have some OFM 12 c products at our disposal and, hopefully, with the full release
of OFM 12 c , we will have these tools merged.
