Overview

This course utilizes a combination of instructor-led discussions and interactive workshops to demonstrate the capabilities of your IDE for the development of enterprise applications using Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0 in an N-tier architecture. The implementation of these components and their access via various clients will be discussed. Each student will learn the following: creation of session, Message and entity EJBs, role of annotations, utilization of Callback handlers and listeners, use of the EJB Persistence API, role of Entity Manager, use the Universal Test Client, utilization of Web services, create container-managed and bean-managed entity beans, connect EJBs using transactions, understand the role of EJB containers, utilize activation and passivation, JNDI usage and the deployment of enterprise JAR and EAR components using your Application Server.

All aspects of this class will incorporate the specific architecture of your Application Server and your development IDE to illustrate the implementation of these techniques.
