This training course demonstrates how to build enterprise Java EE applications. Throughout this training course, students will build an end to end Java EE application. They will learn how to work with all the core Web technologies including JAX-RS, JPA, CDI, and EJB. They will also see some of the common design patterns that can be applied in Java enterprise applications. This course can be delivered on your preferred application server. It is commonly delivered using a combination of Tomcat, JBoss, WildFly, Glassfish, WebSphere, or WebLogic. Additional optional chapters are available covering SOAP services and Web frameworks for front end development using JSP and Tag libraries or Thymeleaf. Through the course, students will build a complete end to end JEE REST API using best practice with JEE. Optionally, a front end can be added as well.

Layout

This training course combines lectures with practical exercises that help the delegates to put what they have learned on the training course into practice. The exercises specifically build on what has been recently taught and are built up as the training course progresses.

Training Course Objectives

  • Understand the Java EE architectural paradigm, and appreciate how it can be used
  • Use CDI to inject distributed objects, including enterprise Java beans, and application server specific components
  • Develop and deploy Persistence Units
  • Use EJB to create a business layer
  • Use JPA to create a persistence layer
  • Use JAX-RS to create a REST API layer
  • Apply JAAS Security to an application
  • Manage transactions using JTA
  • Build and deploy a complete Java EE application within a Java EE compliant application server
  • Understand JEE security
  • Understand and implement JMS based applications
  • Learn best practice architectural and design principles when building JEE applications

Who it is for

This training course is aimed at experienced Java developers, who need to learn the skills required to build enterprise applications using open source tools for Tomcat and the JBoss application server.

Training Course Prerequisites

  • Delegates should be familiar with the Java Programming language as far as at least being comfortable with its basic use and with OO concepts.
