MQS1184: Developing Mediations for WebSphere Application Server

Overview:

Applications developed within a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) expose only a their data structures and protocols to the outside world. In order for two such services to communicate, they must agree on these two items. Where such agreement is not possible, it is necessary to develop a Mediation Service to communicate with the services on both ends. WebSphere Application Server provides a development and hosting framework for these Mediation Services. This course will provide students with the critical skills necessary to thoroughly understand and effectively use the WebSphere Application Server Mediation Service, including the design of applications, the development of mediation code (in Java), and deployment of mediations using the WebSphere Application Server framework.

This is an advanced course designed to provide students with detailed technical knowledge of the product. Correspondingly, students are expected to understand the fundamentals of Java programming and J2EE application server architectures. More specifically, students should have a good grasp of the WebSphere Default Messaging Provider and JMS programming at the level of MQSoftware’s WebSphere Application Server Default Messaging (MQS1182) course. (Note: This is not a course on IBM’s WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus (WESB) product. Students interested in learning about WebSphere ESB are advised to take MQSoftware’s MQS1186 course.) The course uses extensive hands-on exercises to reinforce the tutorial information, allowing the student to fully explore and gain real-world experience with Message Oriented Middleware applications using the WebSphere Application Server Mediation Service.

Who Should Take This Course:

J2EE Architects, Developers and Administrators responsible for the development and implementation of messaging applications using Mediations and/or Service Oriented Architecture.

Topics Include:

• The role of an Enterprise Service Bus in a Service Oriented Architecture
• Fundamentals of WebSphere Application Service Integration Bus and Server Mediation Services
• System Administration (Configuration, Operations and Troubleshooting) of the Mediation Services
• Service Data Objects (SDO)
• Design and Programming of Mediations
• Deploying and Configuring Mediations
• Data transformation within mediations using XSL Transform
• Routing mechanisms with mediations (content based routing)
• Content enrichment within mediations
• Linking to the WebSphere Service Integration Bus with JCA

Prerequisites:

This class is taught on Windows 2000 or XP using the latest versions of WebSphere Application Server and Rational Application Developer.

• Programming experience in Java is a prerequisite.
• System administration experience with WebSphere Application Server is helpful but is not required.
• Knowledge of JMS programming and of the WebSphere Application Server V6 Default Messaging Provider at the level of MQSoftware’s MQS1182 course is required.

Certification Program:

None
