Unless otherwise noted, all instructor-led online classes will take place from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM U.S. EST.

This five-day instructor-led course teaches students how to create, test, monitor, and secure Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE)-based Web services.

Using Rational Application Developer V7 to develop for WebSphere Application Server V6.1, students learn how to develop Web services using the Web services wizards, debug and monitor Web services using the TCP/IP Monitor, mconfigure handlers and security in Web service deployment descriptors, use the Web Services Interoperability (WS-I) tools to develop interoperable Web services, and package and deploy J2EE Web services to the IBM WebSphere runtime environment.

WebSphere Application Server V6.1 provides a powerful runtime environment for Web services.This course demonstrates many of the features available to Web service developers, including Web service caching for performance optimization and the WebSphere Web services security model extension features for securing Web services.

Throughout the course, students perform hands-on exercises to improve their  understanding of Rational Application Developer and WebSphere Application Server V6.1.This experience demonstrates the value of these products to an enterprise. Additionally, students develop a solid background on the uses and benefits of a powerful integrated Web services development environment such as Rational Application Developer V7 for building enterprise-strength service-oriented architectures within the enterprise.
