IBM WebSphere Message Broker V6.1 Developer

This 5-day instructor-led course provides an intermediate-level overview of the WebSphere Message Broker product, with a focus on application development functions and techniques for WebSphere Message Broker V6.1. Students learn how to use Message Broker to develop platform-independent messaging applications. Students learn why messaging is central to the concepts ofSOA and how Message Broker fits into the IBM SOA strategy. The course teaches students how to use WebSphere Message Broker to implement application connectivity across various message transport mechanisms, including WebSphere MQ, Web services, Java Messaging Services (JMS), and others. Students learn to use Message Broker to develop, deploy, and support applications that use both point-to-point and publish/subscribe messaging topologies. Students then learn about the components of the Message Broker development and runtime environments before moving on to examine message flow problem determination and error analysis. Students then explore how to construct message flows that use ESQL, Java, and XSL Transform (XSLT), and how to use databases and maps in message flows. The concepts of message parsing and serialization and message modeling using the Message Repository Manager are explained, so that students understand how to write efficient message flows. Students also learn how to create message flows that use Web services, JMS, and WebSphere MQ message transport mechanisms. Finally, students explore a number of advanced topics such as how to extend the functionality of Message Broker by using adapters and other WebSphere products.Throughout the course, extensive hands-on lab exercises allow students to reinforce their learning by gaining practical experience with the skills and concepts that are discussed in the lectures.
