Developing Applications for the Java EE 6 Platform

The Developing Applications for the Java(TM) EE Platform course provides students with the knowledge to build and deploy enterprise applications that comply with Java(TM) Platform, Enterprise Edition 6 technology standards. The enterprise components presented in this course include Enterprise JavaBeans(TM) (EJB(TM)) technology, the Java Persistence API, servlets, and JavaServer Pages(TM) (JSP(TM)) technology, JavaServer Faces(TM) (JSF(TM)), RESTful and SOAP web services, and the Java technology clients that use them.

Students gain hands-on experience through labs that build an end-to-end, distributed business application. The labs explore session EJB components, which implement the Session Facade pattern and provide a front-end to entity components using the Java Persistence API. The labs also explore message-driven EJB components, which act as Java Message Service (JMS) consumers. Students create user interfaces using servlets, JSP technology (JSP pages), and JavaServer Faces (JSF). Basic web services using SOAP and RESTful techniques will be created. Students learn how to assemble an application and how to deploy an application into an application server (Java EE platform runtime environment).Students perform the course lab exercises using NetBeans(TM)Integrated Development Environment (IDE).

Benefits to You:

Boost the productivity, communication and collaboration of your organization. At the same time, reduce the cost of application ownership through more efficient development techniques. Maintain your edge by staying current with the global standard for developing networked applications.

Students who can benefit from this course
* Sun(TM) Certified Java technology programmers who want to develop enterprise applications that conform to the Java EE platform standards. * Students with Java Programming experience interested in broad overview of the Java EE platform. * Students planning to pursue one or more of the Enterprise Java EE6 certification exams.

This course counts towards the Hands-on course requirement for the Java EE 5 Enterprise Architect Certification. Only instructor-led inclass or instructor-led online formats of this course will meet the Certification Hands-on Requirement. Self Study CD-Rom and Knowledge Center courses DO NOT meet the Hands-on Requirement.
