This course teaches how to develop advanced Java applications using IBM WebSphere Studio Application Developer.

• Introduction to WebSphere Studio Application Developer 
• Collections 
• JavaBeans 
• JDBC 
• Servlets 
• JSPs 
• Using WSAD's WebSphere Test Environment 
• 1/2/3 N-Tier Architecture 
• Threads 
• EJBs 
• Security Issues 
• Networking 
• Distributed Objects (including RMI) 
• JNI

Early labs involve building JavaBeans and collection classes that are used to construct servlets and JSPs in later labs. The final labs demonstrate uses of servlets, JSPs and other components in creating well-defined Web applications using the Model-View-Controller design pattern. Together these labs give students practical hands-on experience in creating and deploying advanced Java technologies using WebSphere Studio Application Developer.

After completing this course, the student should be able to:

• Explain the eBusiness architecture.
• Use WSAD for Java and J2EE application development 
• Learn how to develop JavaBeans for use with JSP. 
• Learn the various architectural models for developing JSP and servlet applications. 
• Learn the details of how and when the servlet is loaded, methods to receive information and can generate HTML. 
• Learn how servlets can be used for database connectivity. 
• Learn to build multi-threaded JSP and servlet applications. 
• Learn Enterprise JavaBeans 

This course is intended for programmers who are familiar with Java and want to learn about the advanced features of Java and server-side programming.

• A good understanding of object-oriented programming using Java
• Some experience using IBM VisualAge for Java in Java application development
