EJB Development Using RAD v6 Course

Course Code: IN 521
Course Abstract:

This course teaches participants how to develop Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs) using IBM Rational Application Developer (RAD) v6.0. The course describes design patterns and “best practices” for building robust, distributed applications in an enterprise environment.  The concepts taught in this course are reinforced by hands-on lab exercises.

Audience: This course is designed for developers.
Duration: 4 days
Learning Outcomes:

Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to:
> Develop and test sessions, entity and message-driven EJBs and other J2EE components
> Identify how EJB 2.1 components fit into the J2EE architecture
