Although the benefits of adopting a service-oriented architecture (SOA) are many, in practice enterprises experience major challenges in migrating their IT environments toward agile, SOA-based frameworks. Our experience has shown that one of the key stumbling blocks in SOA adoption is fundamental – dealing with all the disparate data already present in the enterprise.

Analysts estimate that over 70 percent of the “services” in an SOA are actually data services. One of the reasons that this creates a challenge is because of the “impedance mismatch” between the different types of data: SOA-oriented data is for the most part XML-based, whereas the vast majority of data already present in the enterprise is in the form of relationally-structured data in a database.

In this session, we will introduce JBoss Enterprise Data Services Platform, an optional new add-on to JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform that addresses this challenge. JBoss Enterprise Data Services Platform is based on the industry-leading data integration technology that Red Hat acquired from MetaMatrix in 2007. Now completely open source (based on the Teiid project at jboss.org/teiid), JBoss Enterprise Data Services Platform is fully integrated with JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform and provides a powerful set of tools that elegantly solve one of the hardest problems in SOA development – getting to the data.

This session will include:

• A discussion about the overall design and architecture of the technology
• An introduction to the tooling for rapidly creating data services
• An overview of common data integration use cases/patterns
• A real live project description 
• Lessons on how to jumpstart your SOA with data services

JBoss BRMS is a tool to help author, create, manage and test rules.

This lab expects that you have some knowledge around a rules engine, and will explore some of the features with how to get started using the BRMS to author, test, package, and publish rules.

This lab will walk you through setup, running the included examples, and authoring some new rules, test cases, and more. Most importantly have fun, and raise your hand with any questions.

Understanding JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform and SitePublisher

eXo Add-Ons for JBoss EPP: Collaboration, Social, Knowledge, Workflow, Document Management

Lean and agile development processes such as Scrum foster frequent delivery of software in small shippable increments to reduce time to market for features. The fully automated continuous deployment of every source code commit downstream all stages into production is the desierd goal.

This presentation shows how continuous deployment is realised with JBoss EAP and deals with typical complex problems of real world JEE Systems.

Most organizations have many stores of information assets in disparate locations. While tremendously valuable, implementing new applications that leverage this information can be time-consuming and costly. The solution to these challenges is data virtualization via the JBoss Enterprise Data Services Platform (EDSP). Data virtualization lets you bring together and integrate data from multiple, disparate, and even distributed sources and makes the data appear as if it's available in a single source.

JBoss Enterprise Data Services Platform is a powerful set of tools and runtime components that makes it easy for your applications and business processes to integrate and use data from many data sources.

This hands-on session will give you an opportunity to learn how to tackle your data integration issues using the Enterprise Data Services Platform. You will learn how a model-driven approach can speed up your development time and how you can cost-effectively expose your distributed and heterogeneous existing data assets as data services. This lab will present a complete overview of the Enterprise Data Services Platform product suite and an opportunity for hands-on use of the components to help you creating virtual views of data to satisfy all the different requirements of your consuming applications or services.

We kindly ask you to bring your own laptop with you. All labs will run in a virtualized (VDI) environment and will be accessible from your browser. Let us know, if you won't have a laptop there.

JBoss SOA Platform is a collection of technologies designed to meet an organization's SOA needs. SOA-P includes an ESB, BPM engine (jBPM), Rules engine (JBoss Rules), UDDI Registry (jUDDI), as well as a full JEE application server. To cover each of these areas in depth is beyond the scope of this workshop. Instead, this workshop is designed to give you an overview of the SOA Platform as well as some experience using JBoss Developer Studio to create and deploy SOA-P applications.

Let's admit it, all websites are the same. A Facebook.com, Amazon.com, Google.com and ours aren't much different in structure but differ in content and approach (and scalability very likely). They may have more or less “social/personalization” fiber but:    

• They have public facing pages
• They have way to authenticate, to register, to update his profile.
• They may or may not let users customize some pages (dashboard).
• They need to have security check on access, at the page level or finer grain. They need some template mechanism.
• On the infrastructure standpoint, they need to be managed and to scale.
• On the back-end they may differ more, users and pages are managed from the website or from external tools.

This presentation will explain how portal frameworks can really be platforms for applications so one can focus more on specific features rather than issues that have already been solved by many.

An overview of Red Hat's experience regarding customer migrations to JBoss.  The focus of this session will be on identifying migration candidates, how to structure an implementation plan, and a review of success stories from Red Hat's customer base.

Learn how to setup Red Hat Enterprise MRG Messaging, creating exchanges and bindings. Then use the JCA adapter to publish messages and read messages. You will explore the different types of exchanges, and other capabilities of Red Hat Enterprise MRG Messaging.
