Enterprise Integration with Spring (EIS)

• Developers
• Architects

At the end of the training, you will have gained an understanding of Spring and associated technologies for enterprise integration and be able to do the following:

• Use Spring to create concurrent applications and schedule tasks
• Use remoting to implement client-server applications
• Use Spring Web services to create loosely coupled SOAPbased Web services and clients
• Use Spring-MVC to create RESTful Web services and clients
• Use JMS for asynchronous messaging-based communication
• Understand and use local and distributed transactions
• Use Spring Integration to create event-driven pipes-and-filters architectures and integrate with external applications
• Use Spring Batch for managed, scalable batch processing that is based on both custom and built-in processing components

Enterprise Integration with Spring is a four-day training course that is led by SpringSource experts who will discuss the most important topics and technologies related to enterprise application integration. This hands-on training teaches you how to apply Spring technologies to solve integration problems that face serverside developers. Completion of this training entitles each student to receive a free voucher to schedule an exam at a Pearson VUE Center to become a SpringSource Certified Spring Enterprise Integration Specialist.
