Packt Publishing Application Development for IBM WebSphere Process Server 7 and Enterprise Service Bus 7

A Service Oriented Architecture approach has many benefits for your applications, including flexibility, reusability, and increased revenue. You can exploit those benefits to the fullest by following this step-by-step tutorial for WPS and WESB. Overview Develop SOA applications using the WebSphere Process Server (WPS) and WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus (WESB) Analyze business requirements and rationalize your thoughts to see if an SOA approach is appropriate for your project Quickly build an SOA-based Order Management application by using some fundamental concepts and functions of WPS and WESB Do a top-down decomposition of the Order Management application to identify use cases, business processes, and services/components What you will learn from this book Deliver an SOA infrastructure in WebSphere Process Server to orchestrate, mediate, connect, map, and execute the underlying IT functions and systems Provide a smart approach to SOA by enabling connectivity and messaging capabilities in a WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus Install and set up your integrated development environment-WebSphere Integration Developer (WID) Perform the various basic tasks (such as creating workspaces and projects, working with modules, exporting and importing projects) to build, test and deploy SOA-based BPM and integration solutions across WPS, WebSphere ESB, and WebSphere Adapters Build and deploy your first module project in WID and test business process applications Implement basic concepts of mediation and mediation flows in a simple HelloMediation module Deploy and execute mediation modules to test them in a WID unit test environment Select and use the right tool from the toolbox to build, unit test, and debug applications for WPS Perform typical tasks such as build, test, configure, and deploy ESB-based applications from WID Assemble components of the IBM SOA reference architecture and create shared libraries that can then be leve
