WA1742 Architecting SOA Using Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) Mule Edition Training and Courseware

This course teaches the methodology for solving enterprise integration problems using SOA. The course uses Mule as the software platform. Various ESB patterns, such as, routing, data mapping and protocol translation, are discussed. You will learn how to implement these patterns using Mule.

The course also gets into more advanced areas of SOA, such as messaging, transaction management and error handling. After taking the class, students will be able to architect a solution following the SOA approach and implement the solution using Mule.

• How to gather requirements for SOA
• Analyzing requirements to identify services
• How to specify the service contract
• How to implement services
• How to compose services in Mule
• How to implement various ESB patterns such as data mapping and routing.
• Security
• Transaction management and error handling

Students will get to actually apply various principles in hands on exercises. This will make the concepts come alive.

After taking the course, an architect will gain enough knowledge to begin devising a comprehensive architecture for a new SOA based solution.
