At the moment I'm delivering the OPN Bootcamp on AIA. One of the questions from the group is on documentation. So I have taken the time (while the students are busy with the labs) to scan around OTN to findout some of the interesting links on AIA.

• AIA Best Practice Center: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/applications/aia/index.html
• Oracle Wiki on AIA: http://wiki.oracle.com/page/Application+Integration+Architecture
• Official AIA blog: http://blogs.oracle.com/aia/
• AIA OTN Forum: http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=577
• OTN AIA Foundiation pack page: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/applications/aia/aia_fp1_index.html
• AIA Foundation Pack Tools: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/applications/aia/aiatools.html
• OTN AIA PIP page: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/applications/aia/aiapipnew.html

Hope you'll find it usefull as well.

Tomorrow and wednesday (22nd-23th of september) I deliver the first OPN Bootcamp in De Meern, the Netherlands on Oracle BPM Suite. The course is a two day hands-on workshop on BPM Suite Studio, addressing the basics on developing Business Processes.
There are still seats available so if you would like to join and are in the position to do so then it is still possible. More info on the course is found here.

Other bootcamps in October that will be delivered by us in De Meern are:

• Oracle BI Enterprise Edition, on 6 -8 October 2009.
• AIA Implementation Boot Camp, on 27 - 29 October 2009

There is a "register now" button on the summary-pages of the boot camps.
The bootcamps are also open for foreign partners, that is foreign to the Netherlands.
We're looking forward to meet you on one of these courses. For Dutch potential participants check-out the training pages on our website regularly. More detailed info on these courses and more dates planned are expected soon.

Using Oracle Application Integration Architecture, you can use some custom xpath and xsl functions that are created for the Oracle AIA foundation package.
To use them it is convenient to have them available in the expression builder of jDeveloper.
To enable this lookup note 550378.1 in metalink. There you can download a zip that has the aia.jar and a setup script to copy that to the right place in your jdeveloper home and register it.
