Training

For those new to Java EE programming this course is an excellent introduction to the various technologies included in the platform. Developing web applications using JSF, business logic and persistence using EJB and JPA, performing dependency injection between components using CDI, and implementing web services using JAX-WS and JAX-RS are some of the topics covered in this class. After completing this course participants will have a good foundational knowledge of the various major technologies of the Java EE platform and what they can be used for.

This course is also good for those with experience in J2EE 1.4 or earlier as the last two versions of Java EE have seen many major changes.

Although previously difficult to program, EJB components in modern applications are simple yet provide many powerful features like transactional behavior and fine-grained security. Combined with the simplicity of the Java Persistence API using EJB and JPA technology together is an excellent synergy built into the Java EE standards. Using these technologies could help you create applications that leverage more of the Java EE standards and depend less on third party libraries like Spring and Hibernate. This course will show you how to use the features of both of these technologies, including some of the new features introduced in Java EE 6.

Programming Java web applications has been greatly simplified with the JavaServer Faces (JSF) specification. With the introduction of the most recent JSF 2.0 version this has been expanded even further to include many advanced features and solve weaknesses of previous JSF versions. Web application programmers that utilize JSF as opposed to the “traditional” Servlet/JSP model can spend more time focusing on the functionality of the application and less on the raw programming required to parse and validate request data and share data between web components. This class will show participants how to easily create quality Java web applications using all of the features of JSF.

Also covered is an introduction to Servlet/JSP technology for web applications, using EJB for business logic, JPA for persistence, and the CDI specification for dependency injection.

Although many of the services in active use are SOAP or at least XML-based, an increasing number of services take a RESTful approach to data transmission. Representational state transfer (REST) is a style of software architecture that differs from the more traditional Remote Procedure Call (RPC) style of data transmission, instead emphasizing the importance of defining and retrieving representations of resources.

The Java JAX-RS specification covers how to implement RESTful services with Java. This specification is driven by annotations and can be leveraged from many different environments, including a Java EE 'Application Server'. With the recent inclusion of the JAX-RS specification in the Java EE 6 umbrella of technologies implementing RESTful services with JAX-RS will become even easier.

It is also common to use an AJAX client with RESTful services.  These clients are implemented in JavaScript so that browser-based applications can communicate with REST services to obtain data enabling a rich, Web 2.0 client experience.

This course covers the design principles of REST architecture along with the details of how to implement these services with JAX-RS. This will allow students who take the course to implement RESTful services using Java standards that will be portable to many different Java environments.  Also covered are how to implement AJAX clients of RESTful services sending various data formats.

JavaServer Faces, or JSF 2.0 is a major update to the technology. Since many Java EE developers may already be familiar with the technology, this class allows those developers to focus only on the new features. These features include new JSF annotations, new managed bean scopes, integration with CDI (Contexts and Dependency Injection), JSF GET requests, JSF AJAX support, and more.

Java EE 6 represents probably the biggest change to the Java Enterprise specifications ever. Building on the community innovation that was so present in Java EE 5, Java EE 6 contains many completely new technologies along with major revisions to existing parts of the Java EE platform. These technologies, like JSF 2.0, EJB 3.1, JPA 2.0, Servlets 3.0, Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI), and JAX-RS combine for a large number of new features in the Java EE 6 platform. There are so many new features even experienced Java EE developers will require training to know how to best take advantage of these technologies.
