WA1539 Java EE 5 Servlets & JSP Development with NetBeans IDE 5.5 Training and Courseware (Coming Soon)

Students will learn to develop and test server-side applications based on the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) component model using the Sun software platform of products and tools. Develop and test server-side applications that use Servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSPs) for the control and flow of e-business applications.

Topics
	Develop and test Servlets Develop and test JavaServer Pages (JSPs) Develop and test Java EE applications following the Model/View/Controller architecture Integrate business logic using Java Beans and Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) Apply best practices to Servlet and JSP development

Practical Work
	Students will have the opportunity to build a simple Java program, Servlets and JSPs using NetBeans IDE 5.5. Students will also deploy a Java EE application to Sun Java System Application Server 9.

What you will learn
	After completing this course, the student should be able to: Use NetBeans IDE 5.5 as a truly, integrated development environment Build Servlets according to the current Servlet 2.5 specification Build JSPs according to the current JSP 2.1 specification Build custom JSP tag libraries Integrate Servlets and JSPs into a complete Java EE application Test Servlets and JSPs using NetBeans IDE 5.5 and Sun Java System Application Server 9 Deploy a Java EE application to Sun Java System Application Server 9

Audience
	Java programmers who build server-side web applications interested in leveraging NetBeans IDE 5.5 to streamline their development cycle.

Prerequisites
	You should understand essential concepts of Object-Oriented Programming and be able to write simple Java programs with assistance

Duration
	Five days
