OL317 Developing Enterprise JavaBean™ Applications (EJB 2.0)

Description:

Enterprise JavaBeans is Java's component architecture for the development and deployment of enterprise-level applications. Through the automation of common services, EJB reduces the complexity of middleware applications. Since its introduction, EJB architecture has received unprecedented support from industry and currently is embedded in application server software from IBM, BEA, Oracle, Macromedia, JBoss, Sun, Borland and Novell.

This course will teach an experienced Java programmer how to write Enterprise JavaBeans components that are deployed on an application server, enabling them to take advantage of the capabilities that EJB has to offer. This course covers introduces the participant to EJB architecture, EJB components, developing an EJB application, and advanced features in the EJB 2.0 specification.

Objectives:

At the end of the course, participants will be able to:

1. Understand the architecture of enterprise applications based on EJB.
2. Define and implement session beans, entity beans, and message-driven beans and know when to apply each.
3. Define and use container and bean managed persistence, relationships, and transactions in entity beans.
4. Integrate JavaServerPages and Java Servlets with EJB code in a complete J2EE Application.
5. Deploy enterprise beans using the different types of transactions supported by the EJB specification again using JBoss and NetBeans or where available WebSphere and WebSphere Application Developer.

Java programmers who wish to extend their knowledge base to include implementing enterprise applications using EJB application servers.

Programmers who have at least 6 months programming experience in Java and who possess a basic knowledge of JDBC, JavaBeans, RMI, SQL and RDBMS.
