NOTE: THIS IS AN ONLINE SELF-PACED VIRTUAL COURSE. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS FOR THIS COURSE.
Self-paced virtual courses provide the same deep technical content as our classroom courses, but allow you to learn on your own schedule. You can stop and start a Self-Paced Virtual class as needed during the 60-day access period.
There is no live instructor for this course, so it may not be appropriate for students who require the guidance of a live instructor.
In such cases, students should consider the alternative versions of this course:
- Classroom delivery: Developing Applications for IBM WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus V6.2 (WB213)
- Instructor-led online delivery: Developing Applications for IBM WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus V6.2 (Remote) (VB213)
An updated version of this course is available. For more information, click Developing Applications for IBM WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus V7 (Self-paced) (ZB713).
Course Overview:
This five-day instructor-led course teaches students how to build and deploy mediation integration solutions using WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus and WebSphere Integration Developer.
WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus enables a service-oriented architecture (SOA) by providing a platform for business applications requiring a complex integration that will use different technologies. In addition, the WebSphere Integration Developer tool set can be used to create integration solutions by utilizing simplified integration mechanisms.
Students who want to learn about WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, but are already familiar with WebSphere Process Server and have completed course WB111/VB111 (Developing Business Integration Solutions for IBM WebSphere Process Server - I), may wish to enroll in course WB132/VB132 (IBM WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus V6.1 for Integration Developers) instead of this course.
Through instructor-led lectures and hands-on labs, students learn the concepts, architecture, components, processes, and procedures involved in implementing an integrated integration solution. WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus currently supports six types of integration:
- Web services description language (WSDL)
- Hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP)
- Java Messaging Service (JMS) using queues
- Generic JMS
- WebSphere MQ
- J2EE Connector Architecture (J2C) Adapters
In this course, students design, develop, and test the mediation integration for five of the six types of integration mentioned above. Students create integration solutions with WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus and the WebSphere Integration Developer tool set, learning about mediation modules, mediation flow components, mediation primitives, unified common data structure (SMO), mediation module deployment, and the development-to-deployment life cycle for mediations.
Students also learn how WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus supports an SOA by working with a variety of messaging protocols, using a broad range of interaction models, leveraging advanced Web services support, and utilizing its support for Web 2.0 applications.
In hands-on laboratory exercises, students create several mediation solutions by employing different technologies, such as JMS transport, HTTP binding, JCA flat file adapters, mediation primitives, mediation flow components, and standard WebSphere MQ messages. The course exercises also enable students to create a Common Event Infrastructure (CEI) event using the new event emitter primitive, as well as business object maps that use static relationships. Students also use the XMS client and standalone references to access the data on the queues and services in testing. Finally, students use the IBM tools SIBUtil and SIBExplorer for testing and managing data on bus queues.
In additional exercises, students add plug-ins and see a mediation module that uses dynamic endpoints. Students also learn how to use Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) bindings and the JCA Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) adapter, as well as how to use Web services gateways with Web services bindings.
