OFM October 29th Resources

Thanks to all those who attended our October Oracle Middleware Forum in Canberra, hopefully you all got something out of it. As always for those of you who were unable to make it, we’ve uploaded the presentations below.This is the last of our normal forums for the year. We will be hosting a special cloud event in November to showcase our Java Cloud Service and Developer Cloud Service. Stay tuned for more information!

Also, if you have any feedback about the event or suggestions for future topics please let us know. And if you are in the Canberra area and would like to have a more in-depth discussion on any of the topics discussed at the forum (or you have any middleware-related questions) please reach out to Damien or myself. If you aren’t in Canberra and would like more information either post in the comments or ask your local Oracle Middleware representative.

Build Automation with Hudson

At the October Middleware Forum we ran a session on ‘Build Automation with Hudson’ which completed the Continuous Integration journey we had been working on all year. The slides are available here if you want to see what was presented. In this blog post we are going to run through how to install Hudson (and Artifactory) and get a build automation job up and running. Ultimately we want to be able to make a change to our code, check it in to our local GIT repository and then have Hudson run our maven build job on the code. The maven code will install weblogic, create a domain, deploy our code, optionally run some tests and then delete weblogic. Read on to see how we did it
