Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA): A Comprehensive Hands-On Introduction

 
Course: 424   Duration: 3 Days
 
 

You Will Learn How To

  • Design modern Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA)
  • Evaluate and analyse your organisation to map it as a "set of services"
  • Develop logical service model designs using the Service-Oriented Modeling Framework (SOMF)
  • Convert logical designs into service contracts that can be implemented in any development environment
  • Orchestrate services to implement interoperable solutions
  • Implement standards, monitor performance and manage SOA throughout the enterprise

Course Benefits

Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) package business processes as services, enabling organisations to become more agile by integrating internal and external systems, regardless of their platform. In this course, you gain the skills necessary to design, model and begin to manage SOA within your organisation by applying SOA-specific methodologies, technologies and standards. You learn how to determine what services your organisation needs and to derive an SOA design from business requirements.

Who Should Attend

Anyone interested in designing an SOA, including analysts, strategists and software architects. A general understanding of software development is required.

Hands-On Training

In this course, you perform a series of simulations and hands-on exercises, including:
  • Mapping an organisation as a set of services
  • Driving service design from business requirements
  • Designing composite services by applying the optimal composition style
  • Modelling WSDL documents that drive the implementation process
  • Orchestrating services to create new applications
  • Integrating brokers into an SOA to provide "services for services"

  • Aligning services with the organisation

Following an architectural road map

  • Working forward to deliver applications
  • Recycling backwards to support change

Mapping Services to Your Organisation

  • Drilling down into atomic services
  • Consolidating into composite services

Refining the conceptual design

  • Distinguishing between architecture and implementation
  • Leveraging legacy assets for inclusion in the SOA
  • Selecting cross-boundary services

Modelling Services

Developing logical services

  • Integrating consumers
  • Exploiting the four composition styles
  • Hierarchies
  • Star
  • Network
  • Circular

Achieving effective designs

  • Handling sequential processing
  • Establishing relationships between consumers and services

Addressing the business needs

  • Filter
  • Gateway
  • Monitor
  • Enricher
  • Locator
  • Router
  • Aggregator

Converting Designs to Specifications

Specifying operations
