Web services with Oracle Determinations Server (ODS)

When deployed as a web service, OPA receives assessment data from the remote client application, performs inferencing based on the chosen rulebase and then returns the outcome(s) of such inferencing back to the requesting client.

Oracle Determinations Server is a standard Java EE Web application, deployed as a Web Application Archive (.war file).
It provides high performance XML/SOAP protocol service, via HTTP.

It's a WS-I compliant web service, making it easy to integrate with other applications, using HTTP as the communication layer and XML as the request and response format.

Ex: Integration of ODS running a rulebase with a Java application:

A JAX-WS client will perform the job of creating the request as a web service call, making the call and interpreting the response.
