Overview
This course will provide each participant with an in-depth and comprehensive understanding of the BEA ALBPM Service-Oriented Architecture and event-driven environment and building activities that define a business process This course will focus on the concept of SOA environment, SOA components, role of BPM, syntax and architecture of BPEL, role of ALBPM Studio, development of SOA components using ALBPM Studio IDE, use of basic design patterns, illustrate all aspects of ALBPM Business Process Language, role of process objects, logging and exception handling, integration of the Dashboard, process monitoring, depicting the development lifecycle and testing and deployment.
All aspects of this class will incorporate the specific architecture of the BEA AquaLogic SOA Suite to illustrate the implementation of these techniques.
Prerequisites
Each student should have a basic understanding of application development and design methodologies.
