If you look at the continuing growth of SpringSource and Oracle Fusion Middleware, you can expect to see a number of presentations at <a href="http://www.vmworld.com/">VMWorld</a> and <a href="http://www.oracle.com/openworld">Oracle Open World</a>.<br />
<br />
I'm currently spending a lot of time looking at building virtualized infrastructures for the middle tier. I'm seeing the tremendous demand of customers for the evolution of their physical middle-tier environments into virtualization. Strong customer demands in this area include:<br />
<ul><li>Creation of virtualized apps that are a suite of virtual machines containing, database, application server and LDAP suites that can be deployed with the click of a button.</li>
<li>Creation of development virtualized environments where it is very easy to deploy multiple development environments in Linux, Windows, for test environments. Very easy for developers to create snapshots that they can roll back to.</li>
<li>Deployment of large sets of virtualized desktops using products like VMware View.</li>
</ul><div>Tools provided by VMware such as Lab Manager, vCenter Update Manager, Host Profiles and Baselines make it very easy to keep systems synchronized and agile for quickly changing development environments. Once a virtualized environments are set up for middle-tier applications, its great to see customers saying things like "wow, its amazing how we every survived without virtualization". Lots of great success stories in this area.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00291214843973166978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13194906030900209.post-83857474600654572072010-04-15T11:53:00.000-06:002010-04-15T11:53:54.130-06:00Collaborate 2010 Las Vegas - Lots of great Fusion Middleware presentations<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDWU2iAJS9wz6mn8CfIYHbM8VZRINJ93wf2oKCz06ndugpx61U5DPm_eYgcaqVUKuPTqJYILQUKyo7AbDJe9wHsk3F3dKIaRqRs_MsfTZ7w3AFgo07l5DxJ8gSn50wF_I5_hBCEJ6fZBg/s1600/Mandalay.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="141" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDWU2iAJS9wz6mn8CfIYHbM8VZRINJ93wf2oKCz06ndugpx61U5DPm_eYgcaqVUKuPTqJYILQUKyo7AbDJe9wHsk3F3dKIaRqRs_MsfTZ7w3AFgo07l5DxJ8gSn50wF_I5_hBCEJ6fZBg/s200/Mandalay.jpeg" width="200" /></a></div><br />

Looking at the schedule there are a lot of great sessions on Fusion Middleware. The nice thing about the Collaborate conference is you can attend in-depth technical sessions on Fusion Middleware at the IOUG sessions and then attend great Fusion Middleware sessions that are application related at the OAUG and Quest sessions. Three great groups putting on a great conference.<br />
<br />

I've been involved in Oracle Fusion Middleware pack to the day when I delivered the first Oracle JDeveloper internal class at Oracle Corporation on the very first beta release of the product. This presentation was a one hour presentation and associated white paper that explained in layman's terms:</div><ul><li>They key components and products in Oracle Fusion Middleware.</li>
<li>The importance and role of the different Oracle Fusion Middleware components.</li>
<li>How it all fits together. </li>
<li>The importance of Oracle Fusion Middleware.</li>
<li>Strategic Directions.</li>
</ul><div style="text-align: justify;">I've been asked constantly to update this presentation to Oracle 11g and make the presentation and white paper available again. So by popular demand I am going to present a Demystifying Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g series and at the end an associated white paper.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00291214843973166978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13194906030900209.post-54007853612958895332010-01-16T06:40:00.005-07:002010-01-30T03:55:06.856-07:00Learning more on Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g at User Conferences<div style="text-align: justify;">I've been working with Oracle Java and Fusion Middleware solutions since teaching the first Oracle JDeveloper internal class using the first beta release of JDeveloper. Since that time JDeveloper and Fusion Middleware has gone through a lot of changes.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g and JDeveloper 11g is the most significant release of these products since they've first come out. The level of real declarative programming capability achieved with 11g is significant. The new level of declarative programing now allows new middleware developers to play a larger and more productive role in middleware development projects. There are also a number of significant enhancements to all the components in the Oracle Fusion Middleware. You can also listen to a series of <a href="http://www.oracle.com/us/products/middleware/044270.html#wbc">Oracle and Sun strategy webinars</a> on Oracle Fusion Middleware.<br />
<br />
Here are some great upcoming conferences where you can learn more on Oracle 11g Middleware solutions.<br />

The interfaces for Oracle Enterprise Manager, SQL Developer and JDeveloper are incredibly rich with unbelievable functionality and they all integrate incredibly well together. Allowing all the interfaces to work very well together is so powerful. For example, going in and working with Oracle XML and going back and forth with OEM, SQL Builder and JDeveloper to work with XML structures is just incredible. I looked at this with the rich interfaces and all I could think was "wow", allowing all the pieces to easly integrate is absolutely empowering. <br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: x-small;">Location: Moscone West Floor 3 Overlooks</span></b><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This presentation is designed to demystify Middleware components and explain how these components work together. Topics include: J2EE, Application Servers, Web Services, JSF, ADF, XML, Application Frameworks, Controllers, WSDL, BPEL, SOA and business rule engines. Attendees will learn how each of these components fit into the Fusion Middleware architecture. This is an important presentation for developers, business app developers and DBAs who would like to learn more about the middle-tier.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A lot of people are still not clear on the components of middleware and how they work together within the architectural framework. When people see things on Oracle Fusion Middleware they see terms like ADF, services, SOA, BPEL, frameworks, controllers, XML, JSF, etc. and are not clear on what these terms are and then how you click a button in JDeveloper and then a miracle happens. In this presentation we will take off the magic covers and show how it all works on the inside. This is a fun and fast paced presentation I have been delivering since Oracl Fusion Middleware first came out. I have updated it to include the latest Oracle 11gR2 components and hopefully have added a few funny jokes.<br />
<br />
The goal is to provide attendees a fun, entertaining and painless presentation that will help them get an understanding of Oracle Fusion Middleware, why its so important and how the components work together.<br />

However I'm always getting asked by people new to Oracle environments or JDeveloper what they need to install. So I've included some simple instructions for setting up an Oracle Fusion Middleware environment and explaining the components.<br />
<br />
<b>Steps for setting up Oracle Fusion Middleware</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"> 1. <b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Join the Oracle Technology Network </span></b>(OTN) if not already a member. After going to OTN.oracle.com, on the top right part of the screen there is a signin window. If not already a member you need to join (it's free). OTN is your primary Oracle resource for software downloads, whitepapers, forums, documentation as an Oracle developer. OTN will contain downloads for all software installs for this environment.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> 2. <b style="color: #0b5394;">Install Oracle JDeveloper 11g</b>. JDeveloper is an enterprise Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that contains all the user interfaces and components for different types of middleware applications and components. Click the license agreement and install JDeveloper for the platform you are using. Although I'm a Mac user, I'm using the Windows version due to the larger install base. Go to the download directory for the platform you are running and run the software you downloaded. If you go with the default and complete install, some of the key feature can be seen in the list below. This list highlights the amount of functionality in JDeveloper.</div><br />
* Oracle JDeveloper (Integrated Development Environment)<br />
* Oracle ADF (Application Development Framework)<br />
* Oracle WebLogic Server (Application Server)<br />
* JDK 6 (Windows and Linux)<br />
* Oracle SOA Suite<br />
* Oracle WebCenter<br />
* UML Development<br />
* XML Development<br />
* Database Development<br />
* Web Services Development<br />
* Oracle Toplink Development<br />
* ADF Faces and Business Components<br />
* Oracle Toplink Development<br />
* Java EE Application Server Integration and Deployment<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"> 3. <b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Install an Oracle database server.</span></b> I'd recommend a version of Oracle Database Server 11g or the Express Edition. If you have DBA experience and can set up a loopback adapter I'd set up the Oracle Database Server 11g. If a developer and don't want to mess with managing a database server, l then I'd highly recommend installing the Oracle Database 10g Express Edition. This is a pretty simple point and click database environment. Go to OTN and install the database version you'd prefer to work with (installation instructions can be found on OTN). Go to the JDeveloper New Menu and choose database connection and you're on your way.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You now have a nice environment for developing Oracle Fusion Middleware components or applications.</div><ul><li>Oracle JDeveloper</li>
<li>Oracle Weblogic Application Server</li>
<li>Oracle Database Server</li>
</ul><div style="text-align: justify;">Two great sources for getting started include:</div><ul><li>JDeveloper and Oracle Fusion Middleware documentation available on OTN.</li>
<li>Online demos, tutorials and code samples available in the Help Menu of JDeveloper.</li>

In today's complex multi-tiered architectures this is a very important strategic direction. The alternative of putting together best of product solutions from different vendors can be a high risk approach. Integrating solutions from multiple vendors creates integration challenges in large complex environments. The integration issues often become cost prohibitive over a period of time.

So with my background in Oracle database technology (RAC, Data Guard, Streams, Backup/Recovery, Performance) I'm often asked why am I spending so much time as an Oracle Fusion Middleware evangelist. So here are some of the reasons why I stay so involved with Oracle Fusion Middleware:</div><ul><li><b style="color: #0b5394;">Follow the money</b>: Money spent in the middleware arena is going to significantly exceed the money spent in the database.</li>
<li><b style="color: #0b5394;">Multi-tiered infrastructures</b> can get very complex, so my database and middle-tier background allows me to solve enterprise issues across multiple technology stacks.</li>
<li>The <b style="color: #0b5394;">middle-tier market growth</b> is going to accelerate significantly over the next few years.</li>
<li><b style="color: #0b5394;">Love it</b>: I really enjoy working in working in SOA environments.</li>
<li><b style="color: #0b5394;">The excitement</b>: A lot of the excitement and energy in organizations is solving challenges in the middle-tier with SOA, Web Services, XML, J2EE, BPEL, Business Rules, BAM, etc.</li>
</ul><br />
Some thoughts to consider: <br />
<ul><li>STAMFORD, Conn., May 6, 2009 — Revenue in the application infrastructure and middleware (AIM) software market totaled $15.1 billion worldwide in 2008 according to Gartner. The saturated database market is a little over $15 billion. As the economy picks up, the market growth for middleware will be significantly higher than the database market.<br />
</li>
<li>As Oracle Fusion business applications start to roll out there is going to be an increasing demand for Oracle Fusion middleware experts.<br />
</li>

<br />
The Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Launch was an excellent event. Along with the launch event, I was impressed with all of the Oracle Fusion Middleware expertise in Denver. There were a number of former BEA experts now helping lead the charge with Oracle Fusion as well as some of the top middleware talent in the world can be found locally in Denver. </div><br />
The networking at the breakfast (thanks Oracle for some fantastic food) and during lunch was as beneficial as the presentations. I attended four excellent presentations:<br />
<ul><li>Keynote: Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g<br />
</li>
<li>Oracle SOA Suite 11g: Enabling the Foundation for Next Generation Business Applications</li>
<li>Oracle Fusion Middleware and Cloud Computing </li>
<li>Best Practices for Designing Your Data Warehouse - The Complete Story</li>
</ul><div style="text-align: justify;">Although the keynote contained a lot of marketing information, there was some excellent points raised during the presentation. This presentation highlighted key features in the Oracle Fusion Middleware 11gR1 release. The new features are very impressive. You can hardly recognize the Oracle 10g and 11g releases of Oracle Fusion Middleware. Three areas that really stood out for me include:</div><ul><li>All the features/functionality, bells and whistles in the new release.</li>
<li>How complete all the functionality is within the JDeveloper IDE.</li>
<li>The level of integration.</li>
</ul>Key components in Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g:<br />
<ul><li>JDeveloper and ADF</li>
<li>SOA Suite 11g</li>
<li>WebCenter 11g</li>
