Servlet/JSP Programming Using Eclipse/JBoss-IDE and JBoss Training

This course introduces the students to learn to develop and test server-side applications based on the Java 2 platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) component model using the Eclipse and JBoss platform (using the JBoss-IDE plugin). Develop and test server-side applications that use servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSPs) for the control and flow of e-business applications.

Objectives
	After completing this course, the student should be able to: Use Eclipse as an truly integrated development environment Build servlets according to the current Servlet 2.3 specification Build JSPs according to the current JSP 1.2 specification Build custom JSP tag libraries Integrate servlets and JSPs into a complete J2EE application Deploy a J2EE application to JBoss

Topics
	Develop and test servlets Develop and test JavaServer Pages (JSPs) Develop and test J2EE 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

Audience
	Java programmers who build server-side web applications interested in leveraging Eclipse and JBoss to streamline their development cycle.

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

Duration
	Five days.
