Role
The implementer will implement SOA solutions using the IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances. This includes the WebSphere DataPower XML Accelerator XA35, the WebSphere DataPower XML Security Gateway XS40, the WebSphere DataPower Integration Appliance XI50, the WebSphere DataPower B2B Appliance XB60, and the WebSphere DataPower Low Latency Appliance XM70.

The implementer may use these appliances to support the processing of XML, XSD, and XSLT to increase application throughput and decrease latency, implement secure communications between the appliances and other systems, secure XML and Web services transactions, and integrate systems. The implementer will also use effective debugging and troubleshooting techniques.

Assumptions
It is assumed that the individual following this roadmap has basic skills in the following areas:

  • Working knowledge of XML, including the development of XSL
  • Experience developing or integrating Web services

Objectives
After completing this training, students should be able to:

  • Describe the IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliance family and architecture
  • Describe the role of the IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances in SOA solutions
  • Validate and transform XML documents
  • Implement XML threat protection
  • Configure SSL on DataPower appliances for transport level security
  • Sign and validate messages with digital signatures
  • Implement XML encryption and decryption
  • Implement Authentication, Authorization and Auditing (AAA)
  • Create a Web services proxy to provide service virtualization
  • Implement Web services security
  • Use the multi-protocol gateway to support message types with different protocols
  • Troubleshoot using logs, probes and monitors
