Training Course Summary:

The Sun ONE Integration Server EAI 3.0: Process Integration with Web Services course provides students with the knowledge needed to integrate enterprise applications using Sun ONE Integration Server. The course is divided into two parts.

In Part 1, students learn about the Sun ONE Integration Server process engine. Students are taught how to define and manage business processes using the Sun ONE Integration Server process engine and how to create client applications that access the process engine. Part 1 explains the features and configuration of the Sun ONE Integration Server process engine, as well as how to use process definitions and programming language Application Programming Interfaces (API) in an overall system design.

In Part 2, students learn how integrate applications with the Sun ONE Integration Server process engine. Students are taught how to integrate enterprise applications with Sun ONE Integration Server. Using Extensible Markup Language (XML) and Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) technology, the students learn how to integrate packaged applications, legacy applications, and custom applications into a single business process. The course explains the features and configuration of the Sun ONE Integration Server backbone as it relates to the Sun ONE Integration Server process engine. Students are taught how to use industry-standard XML messaging using Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT) transformations as well as SOAP messaging to integrate applications.

Pre-Requisites:

To succeed fully in this course, students should be able to:
Understand object-oriented programming constructs
Understand XML constructs, and basic web concepts (Hypertext Transfer Protocol [HTTP], Universal Resource Locator [URL])

Who Should Attend:

Students who can benefit from this course are information systems professionals who plan to use Sun ONE Integration Server for Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) or new system development.
