Using dynamic Split-Join to perform work in parallel

In this recipe, we will use the Split-Join functionality of the Oracle Service Bus to handle outgoing service callouts in parallel instead of the usually used sequential method.

Getting ready

You can import the OSB project containing the base setup for this recipe into Eclipse OEPE from \chapter-9\getting-ready\using-dynamic-split-join.

Start the soapUI mock service simulating the Address Checking Service by double-clicking on start-AddressCheckingService.cmd in the \chapter-9\getting-ready\misc folder.

4. Navigate to the operation: StoreCustomer node of the CustomerManagement.wsdl file and click Finish.
