Java Enterprise Edition 8 Development
Java Enterprise Edition defines a platform for multi-tier enterprise development. This training course describes how to use Java EE 8 to create Web applications, define and access middle-tier EJB components, create and consume SOAP and REST Web services, create full-duplex client-server solutions using Web Sockets, implement message-based solutions using JMS, and persist data to a database by using JPA. The course covers the latest techniques and APIs in the Java EE 8 platform.
What you'll learn:
- Understanding Java EE architecture and components
- Implementing Web site using servlets, JSP, and JSF
- Defining and accessing EJB components
- Using JNDI and CDI to manage components
- Implementing message-based solutions using JMS
- Creating and consuming REST and SOAP Web services
- Implement Web Socket solutions
Prerequisites:
- At least 6 months experience in Java
- Familiarity with enterprise development would be an advantage
