Developing Applications with Java EE

Delegates:

Developers with Java Experience who need to produce enterprise solutions.

Objectives:

To enable delegates to apply Java to develop Enterprise-wide Intranet/Internet applications using a range of technical and architectural options.

To teach delegates to develop well designed components that offer flexibility and reuse.

Enterprise Development

This course is ideal for Java developers who need to extend their skills to include Java's enterprise architecture (know as J2EE or JEE5). Industry uptake of Java is increasing particularly due to the relevance of Java in multi-tier architecture systems.

This course will show you how Java can be used in various middle-tier configurations. Delegates will create client/server applications using Enterprise Java Beans, RMI and Web Services. Dynamic web content and other request/response protocols are also handled through Servlets and JSPs.

An emphasis is placed on developing flexible, loosely-coupled distributed application components. These make use of various APIs including Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs), JDBC, JMS, Servlets, JSPs, Java Server Faces (JSF), JNDI, RMI, RMI-IIOP and Web Services.

The course utilises the J2EE APIs.

Skills Gained - This course will enable delegates to:

• Create business component applications using EJBs.
• Write HTTP Servlets, JSP pages and Web Services.
• Connect to Databases and alternative data sources using JDBC.
• Integrate Java applications with existing network resources through JNDI.
• Develop distributed Java systems using RMI, CORBA and JMS.

This course provides a foundation for the Certified Web Component Developer and Certified Business Component Developer exams from Sun.

Note:

Exams are not included as part of the course. Before taking any exam, delegates must ensure they have the recommended experience.
