Oracle SOA Suite 11g: Mediator Component Overview Self-Study Course

This course deals with Oracle SOA Suite 11g Mediator service component and its features. The Oracle Mediator provides a lightweight framework to mediate between various components within a composite application.

Besides mediation, Mediator converts data to facilitate communication between different interfaces exposed by different components, which are wired together to build an SOA composite application.
