Overview and introduction
Introduction
August 2004
Get an overview of IBM On Demand Operating Environment capabilities and products incorporated into the design of a mediated exchange solution, including the five stages of implementation.

Stage 1. Develop customizable business processes and travel policy templates
Develop a customizable application using business rules
August 2004
Develop a customizable business application with business rules that are implemented using the business rule beans feature provided with IBM WebSphere® Business Integration Server Foundation 5.1 and using a BPEL4WS business process.

Develop business rules with WebSphere business rule beans, Part 1
September 2004
Learn how to set up and configure business rule beans in a development environment.

Develop business rules with WebSphere business rule beans, Part 2
September 2004
Integrate business rule bean technology with the mediated travel policy scenario, including the development activities and required code samples you need to implement rules that support two travel policy interfaces.

Develop business processes with WebSphere Process Choreographer, Part 1
October 2004
Use WebSphere Process Choreographer (a component of WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Edition) and the associated runtime environment to develop, deploy, and test basic business processes based on BPEL.

Develop business processes with WebSphere Process Choreographer, Part 2
October 2004
Use WebSphere Process Choreographer (a component of WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Edition) and the associated run-time environment to add a BPEL-based process to the mediated travel policy scenario, allowing for human interaction.

Install, configure, and integrate runtime components
December 2004
Set up the runtime environment for business rule beans applications and the process container based on the BPEL language using WebSphere Process Choreographer. Learn about application-server clustering, business process container naming, deploying entity beans applications, and starting and stopping the business process.

Stage 2. Implement a flexible and dynamic SOA infrastructure
Achieve a distributed unit of work using SOAP/JMS and SOAP/HTTP
January 2005
Implement an adapter architecture to overcome the limitations of the SOAP/HTTP protocol using WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment.

Stage 3. Implement a metering capability
Develop a flexible metering service using Common Event Infrastructure components
March 2005
Discover key elements to leverage Common Event Infrastructure (CEI) and Common Base Event (CBE) for business services using IBM WebSphere Business Integration Server Foundation. Explore the rationale for using an event-based architectural design and implement a metering service in business monitoring processes. And find out how to support more complex business models with event correlation.

Stage 4. Develop and expose a Web-based UI
Integrate Web-based user interfaces into your intranet
April 2005
Develop and expose a Web-based UI to allow service consumers to readily integrate a travel application into an employee intranet. Using a business rule beans management API enables you to invoke a business process implemented by BPEL4WS and integrate the portlet and business rule beans framework.

Develop JSR 168-compliant task processing portlets
June 2005
Build a task-processing portlet using JSR 168 Java Portlet Specification portlet programming techniques.

Set the stage to implement a highly available UDDI registry
April 2006
Learn the infrastructure requirements for setting up and using a Universal Description Discovery and Integration (UDDI) registry. You also find out how to use WebSphere Application Server Load Balancer to balance the load to the two nodes on which UDDI is running.
