This course covers the basics of typical technologies used in web application development, including overviews of HTML, HTTP and J2EE. The entire scope of J2EE technology will be covered, including:

• Dynamic web HTML using servlete and Java Server Pages (JSPs)
• Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs) for business model objects
• Connection to other systems using Java Messaging Service (JMS), database connectivity with JDBC
• Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) and its connections to LDAP
• XML parsing using JAXB for SAX, DOM and JDOM
• Java Web Services
• J2EE security and transaction models
• Struts and MVC controllers
• J2EE development best practices – UML modeling overview, RUP overview, JUnit and Cactus testing

After providing an overview of J2EE, we will highlight key areas of WebSphere Application Server, including:

• WebSphere architecture
• WebSphere and J2EE technologies
• WebSphere clustering, Workload Management (WLM), load-balancing and failover
• WebSphere development overview – how servlets, JSPs and EJBs are developed using WebSphere Studio Application Developer (WSAD)
• WebSphere Java Connector Architecture (JCA) connections to external systems such as CICS, COBOL, etc.
• WebSphere application architectures
  

Finally, we will explain how these technologies are used to develop robust enterprise applications. We will detail development methodologies and techniques.
