Java Programming Enterprise Edition Course

This intense four-day course teaches Java™ programmers how to develop enterprise applications using the ease of development features introduced in Java EE 5 and 6. Students will learn how to create dynamic web applications with JSP, Java Servlets, JSTL, and JSF. Next, they will learn how to send and receive asynchronous messages with the Java Message Service. Students then learn about session and message-driven EJBs, as well as the Java Persistence API and Java Transaction API. The course ends with XML topics including data binding with JAXB and developing SOAP based web services with JAX-WS.

Audience
Java programmers who need to learn about Java EE 6.
