Developing Applications with a Service-Oriented Architecture

Scheduled Dates (sort by: location | date)

Course Overview

Building on the IBM service-oriented architecture (SOA) patterns and reference architecture, this class explores the implementation issues associated with building and implementing an SOA solution. The course describes the complete end-to-end view of implementing an SOA, with emphasis on the development and integration of services. There is a strong focus on creating and exposing services and integrating services into business processes.

This course focuses primarily on WebSphere Modeler, WebSphere Integration Developer, WebSphere ESB, and WebSphere Process Server, and also briefly discusses other products such as WebSphere Message Broker and DataPower.

This course is intended for developers who want to learn about service-oriented architecture (SOA), IBM's SOA Foundation, and the development and deployment of SOA solutions using IBM SOA Foundation.

Audience

This course is designed for application and integration developers who will have a role in implementing SOA solutions. Students should already understand J2EE Web services development, and be familiar with the WebSphere Process Server V6 programming model and the development of process choreography solutions using WebSphere Integration Developer V6.

Skills Gained

After completing this course, students should be able to:

• Explain the imperative for business flexibility in organizations, and how SOA achieves it
• Describe IBM's SOA reference architecture and how IBM's SOA Foundation supports the reference architecture and the SOA lifecycle
• Describe the roles and responsibilities in the SOA lifecycle
• Describe the key development phases in business driven development
• Use key SOA patterns such as Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)
• View business process models with WebSphere Business Modeler V6
• Import business process models into WebSphere Integration Developer V6
• Assemble and implement mediation services with IBM WebSphere Integration Developer V6
• Assemble and implement business processes in BPEL with IBM WebSphere Integration Developer V6
• Deploy services to WebSphere Process Server V6 and WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus V6

Prerequisites

• Before taking this course, students should have knowlege of developing J2EE Web Services and Web Service Clients using an IBM development tool such as Rational Application Developer V6.
• The Skills may also be obtained by completing course:
• JA35V5GB - Introduction to Java SE 5 Using Eclipse 3.2
• XM2860GB - Essentials of Web Services Development Using Rational Application Developer V6
• Introduction to Java SE 5 Using Eclipse 3.2 (JA35V5GB)
