Advanced J2EE Programming

This class is the successor to the J2EE Fundamentals course. Using the knowledge gained in servlet and JSP programming, this class will continue to build larger web applications using EJBs.

Students will complete the course with the knowledge to build and deploy enterprise-grade applications. Students gain hands-on experience through labs that build an end-to-end, distributed business application with all technologies learned in J2EE Fundamentals as well as this course.

The course will cover the latest EJB specification, including entity, session and message-driven beans, best practice guidelines as well as enterprise-grade application considerations such as security, transaction management and good data modeling

This course is presented as a 5-day hands-on course. It does not have to be scheduled in 5 contiguous days; in fact it is better if the schedule can be spread out over time.

If an LCD panel or other projection system is available, live displays will enhance the course.

Students must have completed J2EE Fundamentals prior to the class. Prior Java programming experience is required. Students must have knowledge of JDBC, RMI, and advanced Java programming (threads, remote objects).
