The update bundles components of Oracle's Fusion middleware products which offer a set of common applications needed to create applications.
Oracle offers one version of its SOA Suite 10g R3 for the Oracle application server and one for third party application servers. The suite bundles Oracle's BPEL Process Manager, Web Services Manager, Business Activity Monitoring, Enterprise Service Bus, and Business Rules products. The version that's designed for Oracle's application server lacks the ESB and business rules product because those are already bundled with the application server.
