Overview

This course will integrate a combination of instructor-led discussions and interactive workshops to demonstrate the usage of the WBI Server components for building integrated applications across multiple platforms. This seminar will focus on the following topics: integration of WBI products, J2EE environment, business event synchronization, WBI administrative tools, WBI design toolset, process tracking via WebSphere MQ Workflow, modeling processes via WBI Modeler, Service Oriented Architecture through WBI Message Broker, implementation of Enterprise Service Bus, use of dashboard components of WBI Monitor, role of resource adapters, behavior modeling with BPEL, J2EE security, messaging via JMS, role of Web Services in WBI, underlying architecture of EJBs, JCA connectivity architecture and the Eclipse development environment.

Prerequisites

Each student should have a basic understanding of application development and have been exposed to an object-oriented programming language.

Class Format

Lecture via WebEx and hands-on Labs using remote access machines

Audience

Java or OO developers, web page designers and other professionals that will be designing, developing, integrating and implementing large scale applications using WebSphere Business Integration Server.
