Developing Java Technology Applications with the Java Persistence API (SEM-DTJ-3352)

This course provides the student with knowledge of the Java Persistence API needed to develop and deploy data-driven applications with the Java EE and Java SE platforms. The Java Persistence API is a new persistence API that allows Java SE and Java EE technology developers to model database entities as POJOs (Plain Old Java Objects). Students will gain an understanding of how to program with the Java Persistence API independent of platform, as well as how the Java Persistence API integrates with EJB 3.0 component services to facilitate the development of enterprise applications.
