Developing Applications for the Java EE Platform (CDJ-310-EE5)

The Developing Applications for the Java EE Platform course provides students with the knowledge to build and deploy enterprise applications that comply with Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 5 (Java EE 5) technology standards. The enterprise components presented in this course include Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) technology, the Java persistence API (JPA), servlets, and JavaServer Pages (JSP) technology, 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 that act as Java Message Service (JMS) consumers. Students use web and Java technology clients to access Java technology-based enterprise services using servlets and pages created with JSP technology (JSP pages). Students are taught how to assemble an application from reusable components and how to deploy an application into the Java EE platform runtime environment. The students perform the course lab exercises using the NetBeans 5.5 Integrated Development Environment (IDE).

Web Component Development With Servlet and JSP Technologies (CDJ-314-EE5)

JavaServer Pages (JSP page) technology and servlets are the key web-tier technologies defined in the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE platform). The Web Component Development With Servlet and JSP Technologies course provides experienced developers of Java technology applications the knowledge and skills to quickly build web applications from JSP page and servlet technologies using the Sun Java System Application Server, and the Struts framework. Students are exposed to the current methods for analyzing, designing, developing,and deploying web applications with Java technologies. Lab exercises provide students with experience in constructing and deploying the small-to-medium scale web applications found in intranet and low-volume commercial sites.The students perform the lab exercises using the NetBeans Integrated Development Environment (IDE). This course is also an ideal method of preparing for the revised Sun Certified Web Component Developer (SCWCD) for Java EE 5 certification examination. However, an SCWCD candidate should also spend six months building web applications using the JSP page and servlet technologies before taking the exam.
