WS505 – WebSphere Studio Application Developer (WSAD) / Rational Application Developer (RAD) For J2EE Developers

(3 days)

Course Description

This course covers your choice of either WSAD or RAD and is focused on the tool rather than on general J2EE development concept such as the servlet life cycle. The course fully covers the all aspects of the tool that developers need to know.

A hands-on approach is taken to developing knowledge of WSAD/RAD with lectures used to introduce topics. Extensive laboratory experience is emphasized. Since this course is focused on development and not deployment, the WebSphere Application Server (WAS) per se is not covered, however, the integrated WebSphere Test Environment, which is based on WAS, is covered in detail. By the end of the course, students will feel comfortable using WSAD/RAD for day-to-day development.

Material new to WSAD/RAD is covered in detail. This material includes changes to allow selection of J2EE level specifications (1.2 or 1.3), new menu layouts, additional views such as the JUnit view, and extended editing capabilities.

Course Objectives:

Upon completion of this course, the participant will:

  • Feel comfortable using WSAD/RAD as their primary development tool
  • Be able to edit, test, and debug Java code, servlets and JSPs in WSAD/RAD
  • Understand how to set up WSAD/RAD to work in their environment
  • Be able to get the files necessary for development (e.g., jsp, html) into and out of the WSAD/RAD environment (import/export/refresh from local)
  • Know how to use the CLASS_PATH variable and all build path options
  • Understand custom tag libraries and how to create a simple custom tag library        
  • Know about SAX and DOM XML parsers and when it is appropriate to use one or the other        
  • Be able to load JUnit and use JUnit to set up tests, particularly for objects without a main()
