This IBM Redpaper is a technical introduction to WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere Integration Developer. Part of the WebSphere Process Integration family of products, WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere Integration Developer provide the core functionality for implementing a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) in an On Demand Business environment.

In the first chapter, we introduce On Demand Business and SOAs, describing the requirements for runtime and the development tools for implementing an SOA. In the second chapter, we discuss the building blocks of WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere Integration Developer and demonstrate how these products allow you to develop services and how they can be mapped and assembled together.

While the first two chapters of this redpaper provide you with theoretical information about WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere Integration Developer, the last chapter is an introduction to building solutions using these products. We demonstrate how to develop and test a classic Hello World application to give you a head start for developing of your own solutions.
