SUMMARY:   Now that you have a basic knowledge on Java, you will be able to create simple applications. However, you need to equip yourself with enhanced programming knowledge in order to create efficient applications. Java 5 is loaded with new and advanced features that will enable you to develop larger and more focused applications. In this course, you will examine and work with the advanced and the additional features of Java. This course will help you acquire specific skills such as developing, deploying, and running distributed applications using Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0 (EJB 3.0). EJBs are used in real-world applications such as e-commerce web stores, banking transactions, stock-trading applications, credit-card processing, and insurance risk analysis applications, to name a few, because of their compatibility with a wider range of databases and their ability to be reused in multiple applications. This course is your entry point into learning how to develop EJB-based applications. AUDIENCE:   Java application developers and programmers with at least one to two years of experience who are or will be involved in enterprise development. Students should be skilled and experienced in using J2SE. They should have knowledge of database structure and terminology. Also, the students should understand object-oriented programming. PREREQUISITES:   To ensure your success, we recommend have taken the following courses or have equivalent knowledge: Object-Oriented Programming: Principles Java: Introduction DURATION:   5 days APPROACH:   Instructor led, group-paced, classroom-delivery learning model with structured hands-on activities. OBJECTIVES:   You will work with the advanced features of Java. You will develop distributed enterprise applications using Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0 and deploy them on a JBoss server. At the end of this course, participants will be able to: Work with data structures. Examine the concepts of Java. Use exception handlers. Use the Java I/O package. Use multi-threaded programs. Examine the Java Database Connectivity concepts. Explore networking basics. Explore the new input/output APIs. Handle essential APIs. Set up the EJB environment. Develop session beans. Develop entity beans for accessing and controlling the database associated with your application. Use EJB Query Language for querying a database and retrieving the desired information. Develop message-driven beans. Process transactions. Optimize the performance of a site.
