Servlet & JSP Development using WSAD v5.1

Audience	Java developers, web page designers and other professionals that will be designing, developing and implementing web applications using JavaServer Pages, servlets, Enterprise JavaBeans and implementing them using IBM’s WebSphere Application Server v5.1
Duration	5 Days
Course Abstract	This course will integrate a combination of instructor-led discussions and interactive workshops to demonstrate the development and testing of server-side applications using J2EE v1.4 component model. This course will focus on illustrating the use of the WebSphere Studio Application Developer product for developing servlets, JavaServer Pages and Enterprise JavaBeans. Additionally, the role of the WebSphere Application Server v5.1 for testing, use of WAR and EAR files, debugging and deployment will be highlighted. Each student will learn the best practices solution for developing J2EE applications using Model-View-Controller framework and the separation of servlets, JSPs, JavaServer Faces and JavaBean components.
Objectives	Upon conclusion participants will have acquired these skills: Understand the role of the WSAD v5.1 IDE tool Explain the role of WSAD projects and perspectives Demonstrate the usage of WSAD wizards for rapidly developing components, projects and servers Illustrate the J2EE 1.4 component model and role in designing server-side applications Develop, debug and test servlet applications using Servlet v2.3 Develop, debug and test JavaServer Pages using JSP v1.2 Depict the relationship between servlets and JSPs Illustrate the role of Struts and develop Struts oriented applications Integrate JavaBeans with the servlet/JSP development model Understand the role of Web services and its APIs Understand role of JDBC to establish connectivity to relational structures Deploy applications to the embedded WebSphere Application Server
Class Format	Lecture and Lab
Prerequisites	Each student should have a basic understanding of the WWW and have been exposed to the Java programming language.
