Overview
For those new to Java EE programming this course is an excellent introduction to the various technologies included in the Java EE 6 platform. Developing web applications using JSF, business logic and persistence using EJB and JPA, performing dependency injection between components using CDI, and implementing web services using JAX-WS and JAX-RS are some of the topics covered in this class.
- The core Java EE 6 specifications - JSF, CDI, EJB and JPA
- EJB 3.x simplified programming model
- Web applications using JavaServer Faces
- Java Persistence (JPA)
- JSR 303 Bean Validation
- Java Web Services with JAX-WS and JAX-RS
Skills Gained
This class combines lecture with hands-on experience, and open ended discussion that will help the developer quickly understand the major technologies of Java EE 6. Upon completion of the course, students will:
- Have an overview of the Servlet/JSP web technologies
- Develop web based applications using JavaServer Faces
- Develop business logic layer using EJB 3.1
- Persist data using Java Persistence (JPA)
- Use CDI (Contexts and Dependency Injection) to perform type-safe dependency injection of components
- Use the JSF 2.0 integration with CDI including the CDI support of "conversational" web applications
- Define standardized data validation constraints with JSR 303 Bean Validation
- Learn the two major web service implementation choices, JAX-WS and JAX-RS, available in Java EE 6
Who Can Benefit
Software designers, developers and programmers new to Java EE or with J2EE 1.4 or earlier experience

Reviews
You get detailed labs to guide you through the technical material giving you a hands on method of learning otherwise difficult material.
Very good company. I've done technical trainings at their facility in downtown Montreal in the past and I'Ve always appreciated them.
Great class I learned a great deal from the material. There would seem to a large amount that I need to learn about.
ExitCertified provided a very organized way to learn and provided materials to follow along.
Concise and good to follow along. Although it is a lot to take in under a short period of time.
