Java EE 5 Development for WebSphere Application Server V7

Course details

This instructor-led course teaches students the new features of Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 5 (Java EE 5).

Java EE 5 represents a significant evolution in the Java enterprise programming model. It provides application developers with considerable improvements that enhance the development experience and, in turn, productivity. In particular, Java EE 5 provides simplified business logic development, simplified testing and dependency management, simplified object-relational persistence, and an enhanced Web services programming model.

In this course, students learn about the new techniques employed in Java EE 5, such as dependency injection and annotation-based programming. Students learn how to develop and test Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs), servlets, and other components with the latest Java EE 5 specifications such as EJB 3.0, Servlet 2.5, JavaServer Pages (JSP) 2.1, Java Standard Tag Library (JSTL) 1.2, JavaServer Faces 1.2, and JAX-WS 2.1.

IBM WebSphere Application Server V7 and Rational Application Developer V7.5 provide complete support for the Java EE 5 specification. Hands-on exercises throughout the course give students practical experience developing Java EE 5 code with IBM Rational Application Developer V7.5 and deploying Java EE 5 applications to IBM WebSphere Application Server V7.

Target Audience:

This course is designed for developers who are familiar with J2EE 1.4 and wish to learn about the new features of Java EE 5.

Objectives:

• Explain the Java EE component model
• Describe the new specifications supported in Java EE version 5,including Servlet application programming interface (API) 2.5,
• JSP 2.1, EJB 3.0, and the Java API for XML Web Services (JAX-WS) 2.1
• Develop, debug, and test server-side applications using IBM Rational Application Developer V7.5 and IBM WebSphere Application Server V7
• Develop and test servlets using Servlet 2.5
• Develop and test JSP pages using JSP 2.1
• Develop a JavaServer Faces (JSF) application
• Describe the Java Persistence API (JPA)
• Access data in relational databases using JPA
• Explain the differences between EJB 2.1 and EJB 3.0
• Develop and test Enterprise JavaBean entities using EJB 3.0
• Develop Web services with JAX-WS 2.1 and Java Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB 2.0)
• Use annotation-based development
• Assemble and perform integration testing of a Java EE version 5 application using IBM WebSphere Application Server V7
• Apply recommended practices in Java EE version 5 design and implementation

Prerequisites:

Before taking this course, students should be familiar with the Java programming language, Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) 1.4, and Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) 1.4.
