Oracle Service Bus: Obtaining a list of exposed SOAP HTTP endpoints

The Oracle Service Bus is often used for service virtualization. Endpoints are exposed on the Service Bus which proxy other services. Using such an abstraction layer can provide benefits such as (among many other things) monitoring/logging, dealing with different versions of services, throttling/error handling and result caching.

In this blog I will provide a small (Java) script, which works for SOA Suite 11g and 12c, which determines exposed endpoints on the Service Bus.

SOA Suite 12c: Obtaining composite resources such as WSDLs, XSDs and WADLs

In SOA Suite 12c and 11g there are several options to obtain composite resources such as WSDL's and WADL's. In this blog post I will demonstrate some of them and provide some background information. First I'll describe how URL's can be used to access composite resources. Next I'll describe how and when the EM test console and the Webservice test client can be used to gain information about composite WSDL's and XSD's.
