Oracle SOA11g/AIA Deployment of Shared Artifacts on MDS Using ANT (Another Neat Tool)

Shared metadata is deployed to the SOA Infrastructure on the application server as a JAR file. The JAR file should contain all the resources to share. In Oracle JDeveloper, you can create a JAR profile for creating a shared artifacts archive. All shared metadata is deployed to an existing SOA Infrastructure partition on the server. This metadata is deployed under the /apps namespace. For example, if you have a MyProject/xsd/MySchema.xsd file in the JAR file, then this file is deployed under the /apps namespace on the server. When you refer to this artifact in Oracle JDeveloper using a SOA-MDS connection, the URL becomes oramds:/apps/MyProject/xsd/MySchema.xsd. Shared Meta Data artifacts can also be deployed using ANT and using the JDeveloper seeded ANT scripts. Steps to deployment using ANT Build a project using JDeVeloper. Call it AIAArtifacts. Make sure you include ANT in the project The sample scripts use ANT-Contrib tasks. Ensure that the ANT-Contrib is included in the JDeveloper ANT lib folder.  Create build.properties as shown in the code below build.properties jdev.bindir=C:/jdev115/jdeveloper/bin
