This course teaches how to build and deploy mediation integration solutions using the WebSphere Integration Developer (WID) and WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus (WebSphere ESB). The course covers the concepts, architecture, components, processes, and procedures involved in implementing an integrated integration solution.

WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, which supports a service-oriented architecture (SOA), is the ideal platform for business applications that require integration using different technologies. Using the WebSphere Integration Developer tool set, integration solutions can be created using simplified integration mechanisms such as the Service Component Architecture (SCA) programming model and the Service Message Objects (SMO) data model. SMO business objects can be defined, transformed, routed, and mediated using mediation primitives.

From an integration perspective, WebSphere ESB improves flexibility through the adoption of service oriented interfaces:

Support for a variety of messaging protocols including JMS 1.1, WebSphere MQ, TCP/IP, SSL, HTTP(S), and multicast for optimum flexibility and improved asset reuse.
A broad range of interaction models (request/reply, point-to-point, publish/subscribe and multicast) to help meet requirements.
Advanced Web services support to incorporate leading edge capabilities including SOAP/HTTP, SOAP/JMS, WSDL 1.1, and Web Services Gateway. WebSphere ESB supports WS-* Standards including WS-Security and WS-Atomic Transactions.
Technically, WebSphere ESB currently supports four types of integration: Web services (WSDL), JMS using queues, WebSphere MQ using JMS messages and native MQ messages, and J2C Adapter.

In this course, students use the above technologies to design, develop, and test mediation integration using all four supported types of integration. Specifically, student learn about the mediation module, mediation flow components, mediation primitives, unified common data structure (SMO), mediation module deployment package, and the development to deployment life cycle for mediation.

In hands-on laboratory exercises, students create the following:

	An end-to-end mediation for JMS transport
	An end-to-end mediation solution for adding on Web services, using both inbound and outbound services of the Web services gateway
	An end-to-end solution using custom mediation, including challenge exercises, and SOAP/HTTP binding
	An end-to-end mediation solution using JCA adapters
	An end-to-end mediation solution using a JMS text message in WebSphere MQ
	An end-to-end mediation solution using a standard MQ message in WebSphere MQ
	A CEI event using the new event emitter primitive
	Students also participate in challenge exercises to see the following:
	All of the new JMS data bindings
	A mediation module that uses dynamic end points
	An end-to-end mediation solution using WDSL binding over SOAP/HTTP

who can benefit

This course is designed for system administrators, integration specialists, developers, business process developers, support engineers, and technical sales and marketing professionals.

prerequisites

Before taking this course, students should have Java skills, J2EE skills, and experience or class work with WebSphere Studio Application Developer and WebSphere Application Server.

skills gained

After completing this course, students should be able to:

	Design and develop mediation solutions
	Use all of the mediation primitives in a business mediation solution
	Use JMS binding for JMS access to the bus
	Use Web services bindings (SOASP/HTTP and SOAP/JMS) for access to the bus
	Use the Web services gateway to manage access onto and off the bus
	Use the JCA adapters for binding to EIS (legacy applications)
	Use native MQ binding to access native MQ applications or WebSphere Message Broker
	Use MQ JMS binding to access JMS application over MQ
	Use dynamic endpoint for routing of messages

note

Students use XMSclient (C, C++, .Net access to WESB) and stand-alone reference (non- SCA Java, JSP, and so forth) to access the data on the queues and services in testing, and use IBM’s SIBUtil and SIBExplorer tools for testing and managing data on the queues on the bus.
