Course Description

This intensive, 3-day, hands-on Java Enterprise Edition training course teaches Java™ developers how to develop enterprise applications using the ease of development features introduced in Java EE 5 and 6. Students will learn how to create dynamic web applications with JSP, Java Servlets, JSTL, and JSF. Next, they will learn how to send and receive asynchronous messages with the Java Message Service. Students then learn about session and message-driven EJBs, as well as the Java Persistence API and Java Transaction API. The course ends with XML topics including data binding with JAXB and developing SOAP based web services with JAX-WS.

Pre-requisites

A sound, working knowledge of the Java programming language and the Java Technology platform at Standard Edition level.  Attendance at our Java Programming Introduction training course will provide the necessary background.

Who is this course for?

This course is for experienced Java developers who need to learn about Java EE.

Further Training

After some further on-the-job programming experience with the JEE platform, we also recommend students attend our Java Programming Advanced training course to gain higher-level skills in the usage of Java.  A more in-depth exposure to EJBs and JPA can be gained by attending our Java Enterprise EJB3 and JPA2 training course.
