Oracle SOA 11g

I must say cloud computing gone miles to make people lazy, importantly you can do what you want to do.

I have thought of doing some POC long back, tried a few times however was too difficult to have it on local machine: Oracle Virtulization has done it.

What do you need to try POC or start for Oracle SOA 11 g
1. Oracle Virtual Box(download VirtualBox-4.1.18-78361-Win.exe)
2. Oracle Ready to use OS(Linux)+ Oracle SOA 11 G platform. All parts of oel5u5-64bit-soabpm-11gr1-ps5-2-0-M.7z.001 to oel5u5-64bit-soabpm-11gr1-ps5-2-0-M.7z.007
3. Guide to install VBox and Linux+Oracle SOA(soabpmvirtualboxreadme-1612068.pdf)

My installation is ready with :

Oracle Enterprise Linux (64-bit)
Oracle XE Database
Oracle SOA Suite 11g
Oracle BPM Suite 11g
Oracle Service Bus 11g
Oracle Webcenter Content (Enterprise Content Management)
Oracle Webcenter Suite 11g
Oracle JDeveloper
JRockit
Sun Java SDK

Few hicups:
1. Virtual technology was not enabled in host machine, your virtual appliance will not run. Change you BIOS setting to enable Virtual technology.
2. Lot of things copied locally however need to be moved to virtual machine.You will have to add folder and finally you should be able to see hosted folders: in /media/ folder.

After few months on above setup I preferred and trust me it is worth(and fun) installing VBox, install linux 64 bit(download from eDelivery site), Oracle DB and SOA 11g on your own. I was lucky to get help from my colleagues working in Linux(do not try unless you are not good in Linux or you are lucky to get Linux help).
