Quick Enrol

You Will Learn How To

  • Implement and manage modern Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA)
  • Exploit SOA technology to reduce application development time and improve business agility
  • Leverage architecturally sound best practices to integrate services with contemporary object-oriented software
  • Automate complex business processes using workflow visualization and service orchestration
  • Apply proven SOA standards to achieve platform interoperability and integration of legacy systems
  • Govern SOA reliability, performance and security throughout the enterprise

Course Benefits

Modern software combines discrete and disparate programs into interoperable, distributed applications implemented into Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs). This reduces application development time and enhances business agility. In this course, you gain a foundational understanding of the concepts necessary to model, implement and strategically deploy an SOA within your organization by applying methodologies, technologies and standards.

Who Should Attend

Analysts, strategists, software architects and anyone seeking a foundational understanding of SOA. A general understanding of software development and basic programming experience is required.

Hands-On Training

In this course, you perform a series of simulations and hands-on exercises, including:
  • Manually performing the steps of a business process to analyze for automation
  • Investigating requirements and identifying service opportunities
  • Validating XML documents using a schema
  • Publishing SOA interfaces with WSDL documents
  • Generating BPEL scripts to realize business logic
  • Implementing Web services using Java EE and .NET
  • Developing loosely coupled service requesters

Course 424 Content

Overview of SOA

  • Making the case for SOA
  • Defining key SOA concepts: interoperability and loose coupling
  • Examining enabling technologies
  • Automating human business processes via services
  • Identifying services using registries and repositories
  • Interfacing to services with interface proxies

SOA Technology and Industry Standards

Extensible Markup Language (XML)

  • Consuming, styling and transforming XML
  • Preventing ambiguity with namespaces
  • Packaging message information using SOAP
  • Validating XML documents using schemas

Web Service Definition Language (WSDL)

  • Describing service interfaces with WSDL
  • Composing a service description
  • Specifying communication protocols and endpoints
  • Ensuring interoperability with WS-I standardization

Developing Services

Service design concepts

  • Identifying data-centric and task-centric service characteristics
  • Integrating ultra-thin service layers into three-tier object-oriented models
  • Relating classes to complex schema types
  • Adhering to naming conventions and standards

Service implementation

  • Specifying the service interface using the WSDL-first technique
  • Optimizing performance by appropriate service granularity
  • Building and deploying services with Java EE and Microsoft .NET

Transitioning Beyond Basic Services

Orchestrating services

  • Outlining orchestration syntax and semantics
  • Managing synchronous and asynchronous messages
  • Correlating service invocations
  • Processing errors with fault and compensation handlers

Business process workflow

  • Visualizing business process workflow
  • Employing an interactive BPEL design tool
  • Defining partner links

Service-Oriented Analysis and Design

Structure and architecture

  • Making the case for a well-structured architecture
  • Applying UML notation to service analysis
  • Modeling processes using Unified and Agile techniques
  • Iterative and incremental methodologies
  • Structuring business requirements into a solid service architecture
  • Leveraging legacy assets for inclusion in the SOA

Dynamic flow

  • Breaking down business processes
  • Identifying reusable service operations
  • Grouping operations into services
  • Pseudo-asynchronous messaging

Testing an SOA

  • Applying Test-Driven Development (TDD) methodologies
  • Testing services as units of work
  • Confirming service veracity

Deployment and Management

Enterprise Deployment and Standards

  • Ensuring interoperable service operation with WS-Basic Profile
  • Guaranteeing message delivery with WS-Reliable Messaging
  • Utilizing transport-level security to protect message content
  • Providing confidentiality and integrity using WS-Security
  • Leveraging SOA-Enablers and Enterprise Service Buses (ESB)

Governance

  • Managing service quality with WS-Policy
  • Enforcing and monitoring Service-Level Agreements (SLA)
  • Determining registry access and deployment options
  • Describing interactions with choreography

Future Trends

  • Evolving new standards including Representational State Transfer (REST)
  • Integrating Asynchronous Javascript and XML (AJAX)
  • Reviewing industry initiatives
  • Avoiding past problems and pitfalls
