Overview

This course will provide each participant with an in-depth and comprehensive understanding of the BEA Service-Oriented Architecture and event-driven environment using the AquaLogic Service Bus. This course will focus on the concept of ESB in an SOA environment, SOA components, depict the role of the AquaLogic Service Bus, use of different adapters, integration with IDEs, building publisher and subscriber applications, creation of routing rules, use of business rules and rules engines, using the Filter Expression, creation of transformation maps, managing inbound and outbound SOAP messages, XSLT mapping and transformation, message mediation, protocol transformation, integration of BAM components and defining different ESB application patterns.

All aspects of this class will incorporate the specific architecture of the BEA SOA Suite to illustrate the implementation of these techniques

Prerequisites

Each student should have a basic understanding of application development and J2EE web-based development methodologies.
