Training > Web & Application Development > CDM for Java Developers (TDH310)

INSTRUCTOR-LED COURSE

Post-trade systems increasingly need standard, interoperable ways to represent trades, events, and workflow steps. FINOS CDM provides that common model, but applying it in Java takes hands-on practice beyond reading the specification. This workshop builds that practice by connecting CDM, FpML, and Java in a working project.

Who Is It For

For Java developers, integration engineers, and technical business analysts building post-trade lifecycle, regulatory reporting, or CDM integration systems.

Prerequisites

To make the most of this course, learners should have:

Practical proficiency in Java programming, using Java 8 or later for financial application development
Working knowledge of Apache Maven for project lifecycle management, including dependency resolution and running builds or tests via CLI or IDE
Foundational experience with JSON processing in Java, including serialization and deserialization using Jackson and the JavaTimeModule
Conceptual understanding of the financial trade lifecycle, including trade execution, contract formation, state transitions, and novation events
Exposure to industry data standards such as FpML, which is advantageous for contextualizing CDM mapping and integration tasks
Prior completion of “Introduction to the Common Domain Model” (LFEL1016) or equivalent familiarity with CDM architectural primitives
