FUSION APPS ARCHITECTURE OVERVIEW

Fusion Application Definition

Fusion Applications are Service-Oriented composite enterprise applications developed and deployed based on the Oracle Fusion Architecture, using Fusion Middleware.
ADF Fusion Applications are applications developed using Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF). ADF ensures adherence to Fusion Architecture. Oracle Fusion Applications are being designed by Oracle to unify best-of-business capabilities from all Oracle Applications in a complete suite delivered on Oracles open technology. These are packaged enterprise applications built using ADF and SOA Custom Fusion Applications are applications realized using Oracle Fusion Architecture

JSR 227

JAAS

Loose coupling and abstraction

Model View Controller (MVC) architecture Layered Architecture Standards based interfaces JSR 227 Data binding allows decoupling of UI from the business service implementation using declarative binding. Data controls encapsulate access to the business components and decouple UI

Copyright 2011. Apps Associates LLC

Layered Architecture
Well defined Layering scheme with MVC architecture
Model Layer View Layer Controller Layer Business Services Layer Data Layer

Clearly defined separation of concerns

Copyright 2011. Apps Associates LLC

Reusability
ADF promotes both design-time (code/component) and runtime (Services) reuse
Design-time: Services can be rolled up into an ADF library or a Resource Catalog that includes ADF library and infrastructure connectivity components, and shared with application or Service development teams for consumption. Runtime: Business services can be built and deployed centrally for consumption through supported interfaces that include Web Services/WSDL, EJB 3.0 and message-based.

Copyright 2011. Apps Associates LLC

Agility
Model driven development Allows changes to be made quickly to respond to changes in business Component based development makes it easy to reconfigure and update business logic flow Modular , loosely coupled design allows components to be updated independently without affecting other parts of the application (e.g. UI can be updated independent of the business components) Built-in patterns standardize application/Service development and enable faster delivery.
Copyright 2011. Apps Associates LLC

Separation of concerns
Layering
Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern Business Services Layer

Data binding (JSR 227)

Allows UI to be separated from the business components

ADF business components (Entity Objects Vs View Objects Vs Application modules) define the scope of the components clearly Data controls allow abstract invocation of business logic from the UI.
Copyright 2011. Apps Associates LLC

Composability
Supports composability at multiple levels Application modules are composed of Entity Objects and View Objects Supports Service Component Architecture programming model for building Services that can be consumed by SCA composites. Task flows can include other task flows

Copyright 2011. Apps Associates LLC

Discoverability
UDDI support to publish and discover Services Components, application libraries and projects that can be packaged and reused. They can be linked and discovered through an Enterprise Metadata Repository like Oracle Enterprise Repository. Resource catalogs enable localized discovery of application components.
Copyright 2011. Apps Associates LLC

Standards Compliance
Open standards based framework Supports the following standards
J2EE JSR 227 Web Services (SOAP, UDDI, WSDL) WSRP, JSR 168, JSR 268 Service Component Architecture (SCA) SDO (Service Data Objects) Security (JAAS, X509, SAML) JCA, JPA, JMS, JDBC

Copyright 2011. Apps Associates LLC

Security
ADF supports Authorization and Authentication Access policies can be defined and executed WS-Security is supported Web Service data control security includes
X509 token authentication SAML authentication SAML assertion Digital signatures SOAP encryption and decryption

Copyright 2011. Apps Associates LLC

Principles and best practices

Define Service before developing Services using ADF. Validate the database models against business requirements and functional models before generating entity and view objects. When creating an application module that deals with multiple business entities, each business entity must be abstracted with a respective Entity object. Service Contract and interfaces should drive the design and development of ADF business components. Web Services interface must not be used for intra application module communication. ADF Fusion applications must be designed with future customization support. (e.g. prefer jspx over jsp) View objects should be driven by business requirements. View objects should not be used for simply representing a row of the physical data model. Data controls should be used to abstract the business services implementation from the UI components. Applications developed using ADF must be deployable on any Javacapable application server. Visual and declarative validation should be used when applicable.
DISCUSSION: Any additional principles and best practices???

ADF Fusion Application development best practices

ADF is used to develop Service-Oriented Applications. That means that you can develop both Services and Composite applications with ADF. Services: ADF can be used to build SOA Services that can be exposed using a choice of interfaces Composite applications: Composite applications that consume Services and other business components can be built using ADF. ADF also helps rapid development of UI components. Enterprise Services should be identified during the analysis phase and should be designed, developed and deployed in a shared environment for the consumption of the ADF composite application.

Difficult to change at runtime

Difficult to customize Difficult to retain extensions Proprietary implementation Compliance Difficult to govern

Rules and approvals can be Design Time at Runtime

Customized using the BPEL editor Layered customizations BPEL and BPMN provide standards based platform Easier for auditing and compliance Seamless integration with OWSM and EM

Key Usages Of SOA in Fusion Applications

Usage Category
Process Customization (for Developers) Human Workflow Integration

Description
Developers customize processes to suit business needs. Support human workflow with complex approvals including approval hierarchies Decouple external systems. Allows bringing new systems online without changing core Processes Make it easier for business analyst to modify process at runtime. Support Batch processing and other long running jobs as scheduled /async processes

Usage

Simple sequential BPEL process steps Customer can modify steps

Most important usage by many fusion apps Manual task or approval tasks

Mediator is an example End to End Integration Flexibility with Rules based routing
Business Analysts arrange orchestration flow of delivered processes Process Composer use case

Process Composition (for Business Analysts) Long Running or Batch Processing

Executed as a batch or is a long running process Processing itself happens outside Orchestration, fault handling and compensations are key

Event Processing

Support event processing using SOA model.

Event driven integration Events to add flexibility and loose coupling

Extensibility Scenarios
Customization Runtime configuration Runtime design changes Adding custom logic at design time

Customization Examples

Processes:
A business analyst needs to modify a business process

Rules:
A user needs to add a personal rule to his work list A business analyst needs to change the rules used as a condition or lookup

Workflow:
An administrator needs to change assignment rules or events in a workflow for everyone A user wants to specify her notification channel
