IBM WebSphere Message Broker V7: Developer Workshop

Product Description

Overview

This 5-day instructor-led class provides an intermediate-level overview of the Web Sphere Message Broker product, with a focus on using Web Sphere Message Broker to develop, deploy, & support platform-independent message flow applications. These applications use both point-to-point & publish-&-subscribe messaging topologies to transport messages between service requestors & service providers, & they also allow the messages to be routed, transformed, & enriched as required.

The class begins with an overview of service-oriented architecture (SOA), including why messaging is central to SOA & how Web Sphere Message Broker fits into the IBM SOA strategy. Next, students learn about the components of the Web Sphere Message Broker development & runtime environments before examining message flow problem determination & conducting error analysis. Students then explore how to construct message flows that use ESQL, Java, & XSL transform (XSLT), & how to use databases & maps in message flows. They also learn how to implement application connectivity by using Web Sphere Message Broker to create message flows that use Web services, Java messaging services (JMS), & Web Sphere MQ message transport mechanisms.

In addition, students learn to write more efficient message flows by applying the concepts of message parsing, serialization, & message modeling. Finally, students explore advanced topics such as how to extend the functionality of Web Sphere Message Broker by using adapters & other Web Sphere products.

Throughout the class, extensive hands-on lab exercises reinforce student learning with practical experience using the skills & concepts that are discussed in the lectures. The topics covered in the hands-on labs include creating & testing message flows, message modeling, retrieving & viewing statistical information, problem determination, & error handling.
