Java Web Programming (JEE) and REST

Print Friendly, PDF & Email
Course No. NTXJVA220

This course will get you on your way to building robust web applications leveraging the Java Enterprise platform. In addition to syntax and the “nuts and bolts” of how to build web applications, we present the important concept of the separation of programmatic and declarative development, i.e., use of configuration and context information in lieu of hard-coded values, resource locations and so on to make the web application as portable and easy to administer as possible.

Course Duration: 5 days
Prerequisites:

Students should complete an introductory Java class or have at least three months of Java programming experience before taking this course.

Course Objectives:

• Recognize what technologies are available in JEE
• Demonstrate understanding of web application file and packaging structure
• Understand and appreciate the role of Java Servlets in the overall Java Enterprise Edition architecture
• Use request and response objects provided to a servlet to read parameters and to produce an HTML response
• Develop interactive web applications using HTML forms and servlets
• Manage complex conversations with HTTP clients using session attributes
• Diagram and explain  the differences in MVC and MVVM
• Create a RESTful web service in Java using JAX-RS
