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

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

Prerequisites

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

Class Format

Lecture and Lab
