Building SOA Applications using WID

Overview

This course will provide each participant with an in-depth and comprehensive understanding of the Service Component Architecture (SCA) and event-driven environment. This course will focus on the concept of SCA specifications, SOA components, development of Web services, use of SDO with Service Component Architecture (SCA), depict design methods using BPEL, using MQ-enabled services, utilization of JMS, depict the role of the Enterprise Service Bus using the WebSphere Message Broker, security integration, building publisher and subscriber applications, durable and non-durable event processing, using adapter components, CEI implementation, development of SOA components using WebSphere Integration Developer and deployment of client proxies.

All aspects of this class will incorporate the specific architecture of WebSphere Process Server and WID to illustrate the implementation of these techniques.

Prerequisites

Each student should have a basic understanding of application development and design methodologies.
