WL863 – WebLogic 8.1 Struts Development (3 days)

Course Description

This course thoroughly covers Struts development for the WebLogic 8.1 environment. The course covers advanced servlet and Java Server Page (JSP) development.

After introducing custom tag libraries, we illustrate the best practice application of the MVC patterns in servlet and JSP development effectively using the Command pattern. From this foundation we detail the Struts framework and its custom tags.

This course emphasizes a hands-on approach. Short lectures introduce each major topic and then extensive laboratory exercises are used to give the student practical experience. The exercises and the labs build on each other and produce a complete working project by the end of the course. A few small independent exercises are also used to illustrate particular points not easily brought out in the cumulative class project.

Since this course is focused on development and not deployment, the WebLogic Server per se is not covered, however, the integrated WebLogic Test Environment, which is based on WAS, is covered in detail.

Differences in the configuration of the development environment under NT and the deployment environment under UNIX will be covered. Particular attention will be paid to file packaging (EAR file) and exporting.
