We have website made with Oracle. Data from DB is provided with webservices. Now we want to start migration to PHP and selected Symfony as a destination.

Our team is totally newbie in Symfony. The question is, what is the best Symfony-way to connect our application to Oracle-webservices? Is it possible to use Doctrine?

By the way, is Symfony2 a good solution to make app which takes data from services?

Of course Symfony2 is a good solution to consume webservices. For example you can use the guzzle bundle to query you API:

$client = $this->get('guzzle.client');
$request = $client->get('http://www.example.com/')

Other lightweight library is Buzz, you also have a Symfony2 bundle for it.
