ESB Toolkit How To Video #2: Service Composition

Hi everyone, it was quite a long time since I posted the first "How-to" video (found here), but I have finally completed the second one. In this demo, I show you how to do a number of new things

  1. to create an itinerary that compose three services together into a single composite service
  2. How to setup your BizTalk environment to support this type of itinerary. Including how to create the send ports required for a composite service itinerary
  3. How to retrieve information from a UDDI v3 server from within your itinerary
  4. How to test resolvers inside visual studio using the resolver web service
  5. How to implement dynamic mapping and dynamic routing inside an itinerary

Based on feedback from my last video I understood that the AVI format I used sucked and that you didn't want to have to download multiple ZIP archives just to watch a short video. Therefore, I've found a better recording tool that creates WMV files. Therefore this video is only 13 megs in size.  Hopefully that is more convenient for everyone.

If you happen to hear a baby crying at the end, I apologize, that is my new daughter trying to make her first appearance on my blog :)

This video covers a lot of ground and I show a lot of things. So if I have gone too fast over something, or some element isn't clear, let me know and I'll post a follow up video.

Here's the link to the video

Cheers and keep on BizTalking...
