Tip
You don't require Enterprise Service Bus if you only have a few systems connect-
ing to each other. It may be an overkill to introduce the service bus.
The following two options are available to use the service bus functionality for your
applications:
1. Use Oracle Enterprise Service Bus (OSB).
2. Use the Mediator component of SOA Suite.
Point-to-point connections between systems are tightly coupled and do not provide
flexibility in the long run. However, as an architect, you should evaluate the pros
and cons for introducing OSB as a separate component versus using the Mediator
component within SOA Suite. One of the main advantages of using OSB is that you
can introduce centralized security, messaging, and management for each interaction
between services.
