Developing J2EE Applications Using Websphere/WSAD 5.1 course

Summary: This course is an introduction to writing J2EE (Java 2 Enterprise Edition) applications using IBM's WebSphere Application Server. An overview of J2EE technology is provided, followed by hands-on experience using JNDI and JDBC and writing Servlets, JavaServer Pages, and Enterprise JavaBeans. Start-up, shutdown, and basic configuration of the WebSphere Server is covered, including setup for authentication and authorization of users. Prerequisites: Students should be comfortable with Java programming and object-oriented concepts. A minimum of six months coding experience is suggested. In addition, students should have prior experience using RMI, JDBC, and Java Servlets. Who Should Attend: Experienced Java programmers and software engineers preparing to write J2EE applications using IBM's WebSphere Application Server. Benefits of Attendance: Students will be able to: Describe characteristics of enterprise applications; Assemble and deploy a J2EE-compliant application; Start and shutdown the WebSphere Server; Configure WebSphere using the Administrative Console; Setup the WebSphere development environment; Write and deploy servlets on the WebSphere Server; Manage HTTP sessions in servlets; Write JavaServer Pages (JSP); Configure WebSphere to run JSPs; Use JNDI to locate and access directory objects; Use classes and methods in the javax.naming package; Create database connections using JDBC drivers; Setup WebSphere JDBC properties; Create and use connection pools; Create and use DataSource objects; Describe the different kinds of Enterprise Java Beans; Use Bean-managed and Container-managed persistence; Understand and write XML-based deployment descriptors; Configure and deploy EJBs on the WebSphere Server; Handle database transactions in EJBs; Define security roles; and Map EJB method permissions to roles.
