eai work going on

-------------------------------------------------------------http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/eai/developer/archives/001417.asp--------------------------------------------------------------
TIBCO BusinessWorks exam
TIBCO exam study by t aziz
Enterprise Application integration patterns
SeeBeyond
--------------------------------this guy wants to enter in eai --------------------------------
there is a technology that is never outdated ---------bussniss accumen and communication skills
MicrosoftBiztalk server(limited features ) and universal application network
J2ee based EAI tools-----------visit sitestibco(hot)vitriaseabeyond
J2ee and "java messaging server" ------messaging world
(point -to-point,publish,subscribe,queues,topics concepts-------tibco and vitria
tibco provides vast set of tools...........though coceptually it is similar to jms architecturaly they r different .
eai is about knowing and then getting right solution for different situations
j2ee(ejb's) + jms + tibco + web services = right solution
EAI software-----------is required ----------so first learn what eai is all about
http://www.eaijournal.com/
----------------------------------------this guy is confused to go in eai and .net team ---------------------------------------
major issues
1) nature of work
2) opennings on eai
present days market is focussing on integrating partners and vendors
3) better than .net
3) eai r better to b compared with web services .eai is a practice or discipline or tool whereas .net is is a technology
wintel platform-------
eai developers r java specific and tool centric .......in a way they r specialist and
accounts 4r only 10% of developers
.net salaries shall decline as supply catches demand ...........eai salaries r likely to hold or atleast will follow economic trends .
.Net group will develop n-tier Internet/intranet/Client-server applicationsfor
pres-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
certain issues
sun has initiate commoditisation of eai through j2ee ............web services r putting pressure on eai vendors by driving cost down ...............j2ee connectors r d devils .........well companies like satyam liverage every possible technology ...........so needs to b seen where shall i lie .
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
integration points
j2ee can b used as a platform 4r integration
criteria 2 choose gud architecture .
design patterns and paradigms.............writting effective frameworks
styles of integration ---------gregor hohpe-----------eaipatterns.com

j2ee integration specialist
how to perform tree searches or sorts or linked list -------don knuth's The art of computer programming .
patterns and modelling ----------grasp of basic concepts and building upon that .
lnguage(java ) and development tools(Intellij ,eclipse) -----------
architecture ----------a broad term but a good developer should understand best practices (testfirst agile,refractory)
inversion of control
knowing how to acheive encapsulation
seperaTION OF CONCERNS
SOFTWARE ENGINEERING
RATIONAL UNIFIED PROCESS
XP EXTREME PROGRAMMING
DMADOV OF SIX SIGMA
----------------
MOST F D MORDRN INTEGRQATION R BASED ON ASYNCHRONOUS MESSAGING PARADIGM
different messaging constructs
semantics of async wire protocol
process modelling
parallel execution ,concurrent tasks , synchronization points
process definition should b driven by data flow
j2ee jms architecture
web services soap, jax api's(jax-rpc,jax-m)
------------------------------------------------------------------lots of integration efforts r message oriented so a solid understanding of
mom is an asset
----------------------------------------------------------------
Quote ----------
the real value of an enterprise is the cohesive nature of it
integration at what point ----------
data level
method level (sharing chunks of data )
Enterprise component framework
-collaborating services and softwares .
component aspects of eai styles
product evaluation reports .
data centric database design-------------------function oriented programdevelopment interfaces
-------------------------------------------------------------------

complet integration takes thousands of interfaces to b connected to appropriate bussniss objects .
-----------------------------------------------
integration efforts need to import industry specific object models defined by the standard organisation
