March "Oracle Web Services" presentations extravaganza – Auckland NZOUG 15th/16th, Canberra ACTOUG 18th and Adelaide AUSOUG 19th

I'll be presenting in 3 different cities during March, presenting the same 2 presentations in both cities:

• Back to basics: Simple database web services without the need for SOA


• Oracle JDeveloper 11g JAX-WS Web Services: As easy as 1-2-3: XSD, WSDL, Generate!

These 2 presentations are ideal for Oracle database professionals, be it developers and DBAs in understanding how to create and consume web services from the Oracle database, as well as from Oracle's own JDeveloper IDE.

The dates:

• NZOUG Conference - Auckland Mon/Tue 15th/16th March
• ACTOUG Monthly Meeting - Canberra Thur 18th March
• AUSOUG Monthly Meeting – Adelaide Fri 19th March

Complete presentation abstracts:

Back to basics: Simple database web services without the need for SOA

Oracle is heavily heading down the SOA line which can be intimidating to database programmers with no experience in the web service arena or running application servers, let alone SOA. This presentation will identify as a first step that database programmers can make use of database packages like utl_http, utl_dbws and 11g's Native Web Services for consuming and publishing web services without adopting SOA straight off the ranks.

Oracle JDeveloper 11g JAX-WS Web Services: As easy as 1-2-3: XSD, WSDL, Generate!

Web services used to be hard. Creating XML schemas, long-winded Web Services Description Language (WSDL) code, and back-end Java code took much effort. Today Oracle JDeveloper 11g enables developers to visually design both the schemas and WSDL code by drag and drop and generate Web services based on both of these with the latest Java EE JAX-WS/JAXB Web service standards with just a few clicks. Finally programmers can get back to thinking about the programming problem they need to solve without wasting time setting up the Web service artefacts, which can be tedious, error-prone, and very repetitive. Learn more in this session.

I look forward to seeing you there.
