Role
The application developer in a BPM context is responsible for assembling application components into a complete solution, and preparing this solution for thorough testing and subsequent deployment. The application developer enables access to a range of data sources for other developers, which may include establishing relational views over federated sources (heterogeneous relational databases, data access layer developer queues, or Web services), writing entity beans to enable correlated access to federated sources, or developing Web services that provide access to federated sources.
Assumptions
It is assumed that the individual following this roadmap has basic skills in the following areas:
- Good understanding of business solutions and the business environment
- Knowledge of application components and services, and the ability to implement their efficient collaboration at run time
- Understanding of different data sources, and data access issues such as transactions
- Familiarity with J2EE Web services
