Getting Started with Continuous Integration for Oracle Fusion Middleware

These articles are to help you get started… they are not necessarily meant to show the best practices – see below for some comments on that.

§  Hudson is a common Continuous Integration server which you can run standalone, or if you prefer, you can run it on WebLogic Server.  Installing Hudson on WebLogic Servershows you how.

§  Deploying WebLogic applications with Maven shows you how to use the new WebLogic Maven Plugin to deploy applications to your WebLogic Server environment using Maven.

§  Getting started with continuous integration for SOA projects explains how to set up some basic continuous integration capabilities using Hudson, Maven and Subversion with JDeveloper.

§  Extending our continuous integration approach to work with MDS-dependent components explores how we can configure our CI build to work when some components in the composite require MDS.  Adding Human Tasks or Rules to a composite, for example, will add a dependency on MDS.

§  Adding SCA Tests shows you how to include SCA Test execution in our CI Build.  This includes seeing the results in the Hudson console.

§  Extending Continuous Integration to include Human Task UI projects.

§  Using Oracle Service Registry in an automated (Maven) SOA/BPM build

§  Deploying Canonical Data to MDS (coming soon) shows how to deploy your canonical data model to Metadata Services using Hudson.

§  Extending our sample to include BPEL, BPMN, Rules, Spring, Web Services and Human Tasks (coming soon) provides access to a sample that you can download and experiment with in your own environment.

§  Using Continuous Integration for a whole SOA Application (coming soon), i.e. a composite, user interface(s) for the human tasks, and canonical data; including SCA Test and SOA Configuration Plans (for targeting different environments).

§  Getting started with Continuous Integration for Oracle Service Bus shows the basics of how to script a build and deployment for OSB

§  Building OSB projects with Maven and removing the eclipse dependency takes this a step further to use the new configjar tool introduced in OSB PS6 and execute the build in Maven

§  Tip: How to make Coherence play nice in your test environment

§  Automating creation of JDBC Data Sources and DdAdapter plan updates and redeployment

§  Automating creation of JMS Queues and JmsAdapter plan updates and redeployment
