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 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 v5.0 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 and JavaBean components.
