WA1627 Java Enterprise Programming with JBoss Seam 2.0 Training and Courseware (coming soon)

Seam is an exciting new programming model that enables "next generation" Java Enterprise programming. Seam can help combine some of the latest improvements in Java Enterprise programming, including JSF, EJB3, JPA, and AJAX. Seam also makes Java Enterprise programming easier by solving many of the common drawbacks and difficulties encountered using the various Java Enterprise technologies. Seam simplifies the configuration of applications by using annotations, dependency injection, and "contextual components".

In this class you will learn the various options when creating Seam components. You will also learn how to integrate Seam with various technologies and how to deploy Seam applications to a variety of servers, including JBoss, Glassfish, WebSphere, and WebLogic. This class covers Seam 2.0.

• Seam Component Model
• Testing Seam Applications
• Seam and JSF
• Error Handling and Debugging
• Seam with EJB 3.0 and JPA
• Stateful Seam Applications
• Seam Application Enhancements
• Seam and AJAX
• Using Seam without EJB
• Seam Production Deployment

• Describe and leverage the various advantages of the Seam programming model.
• Use Seam in combination with various technologies like JSF, EJB 3.0, JPA, and AJAX.
• Use various development tools to work more efficiently with Seam applications.
• Test Seam applications.
• Solve common application programming problems using Seam techniques.
• Apply rule-based security to Seam applications.
• Describe how to use Seam without EJBs and the tradeoff when doing so.
• Deploy Seam applications into a variety of production environments.

This class is meant for Java Enterprise programmers looking to write a new breed of Enterprise applications based on Seam.

Students should have a good familiarity with Java and Java Enterprise programming. The following courses can provide this required background if needed:

• WA1278 Introduction to Java using Eclipse
• WA1365 J2EE Programming using Eclipse and JBoss

The following courses are optional and may also be taken after this course to provide more detailed coverage of the various technologies that Seam can integrate with:

• WA1618 Introduction to JavaServer Faces JSF 1.2 Using Eclipse
• WA1506 EJB 3 Programming with JBoss
• WA1503 Mastering AJAX (J2EE Edition)

A brief overview of these technologies is provided as part of this course for those that are not familiar with these technologies.
