| Course Abstract: |
This course teaches participants how to use IBM Rational Application Developer (RAD) v7.5 for Java EE development. The course focus is on teaching participants how to use the tool to implement Java EE components, not on the underlying Java EE technology. After completing this course, participants will feel comfortable using the RAD v7.5 integrated development environment tools to develop Java and Java EE applications utilizing JSP, JSF, servlets, JavaBeans, EJBs, XML, and Web services. The concepts taught in this course are reinforced by hands-on lab exercises.
|
| Learning Outcomes: |
Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to:
> Develop applications for the JEE5 standard which features EJB3.0, JPA, JSF 1.2, JSP 2.1 and Servlet 2.5 standards
> Increase developer productivity for already existing applications with improved support for refactoring, as well as add new features to existing applications
> improve the developer productivity with various enterprise systems |
