WebSphere Business Integration Overview

Overview

This course will utilize an interactive lecture series 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, e-business patterns, J2EE environment, WBI administrative tools, WBI design toolset, modeling processes via WBI Modeler, Service Oriented Architecture through WBI Message Broker, implementation of Enterprise Service Bus, role of resource adapters, J2EE security, messaging via JMS, role of Web Services in WBI and the underlying architecture of EJBs and JCA connectivity architecture.

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

Managers, Project Leaders, 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.

Learning Objectives

After completing this course, the student should be able to:

Understand the n-tier J2EE environment.

Examine the components in the WBI implementation.

Discuss eBusiness integration patterns

Discuss WBI Interchange Server for business processes.

Illustrate the role of e-Business patterns for building integrated systems

Illustrate design for the WBI implementation for business objects, connectors, mapping, relationships, etc.

Examine WebSphere MQ Workflow for business process tracking

Model applications using Business Process Execution Language (BPEL).

Depict centralized message brokering.

Understand the role of the Enterprise Service Bus for unifying messages, events and SOA processes.

Examine role of WBI Adapters for legacy applications (CICS, IMS, etc) and technology components (XML, Exchange, COM, etc)

Illustrate J2EE Security environment for authentication, authorization, delegation and trusting.

Understand use of Java Messaging Services (JMS) in WBI via WebSphere MQ architecture.

Depict Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and component implementation.
