SUMMARY:   This course teaches students how to use IBM Rational Application Developer (RAD) v7.5 for JAVA EE development. The course focus is on teaching students how to use the tool to implement JAVA EE components, not on the underlying JAVA EE technology. After completing this course, students will feel comfortable using the RAD v7.5 integrated development environment tools to develop Swing Java and JAVA EE applications utilizing JSP, JSF, servlets, JavaBeans, EJBs, XML and Web services. The concepts taught in this course are reinforced by hands-on lab exercises. PREREQUISITES:   Java programming experience, server-side development experience and familiarity with HTML. Students must be able to develop JSPs, servlets, and simple EJBs without assistance using another development environment. DURATION:   5 days.
