This course teaches students how to develop Enterprise Java Components and Applications using Eclipse Integrated Development Environment. It also teaches how to build and deploy a Web based Enterprise Java Application in a Java EE Server. Students will learn the Java SE/Java EE Architecture and Java EE Technologies and how are they implemented in Vendor Java EE Server (IBM WebSphere Application Server and BEA WebLogic Server).  Students will learn how to develop java applications, web components (Servlets, JSP, JSF and Web Services) and Enterprise Java Bean Components. The hands-on development includes configuring the deployment descriptors of web, ejb, web services modules and enterprise application. This course also teaches how to build an end-to-end enterprise application using components and deployment configurations.

You Will Learn How To:

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:

• Understand the Architecture  of Java SE and Java EE Platforms
• Integrate Java EE Server in Eclipse Servers for Testing Java applications
• Use Eclipse IDE to develop Java applications and Java EE applications
