Course Abstract
Course description
This 4-day instructor-led course teaches students the new features of Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 5 (Java EE 5).
Java EE 5 represents a significant evolution in the Java enterprise programming model. It provides application developers with
considerable improvements that enhance the development experience and, in turn, productivity. In particular, Java EE 5
provides simplified business logic development, simplified testing and dependency management, simplified object-relational
persistence, and an enhanced Web services programming model.
In this course, students learn about the new techniques employed in Java EE 5, such as dependency injection and annotationbased programming. Students learn how to develop and test Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs), servlets, and other components with
the latest Java EE 5 specifications such as EJB 3.0, Servlet 2.5, JavaServer Pages (JSP) 2.1, Java Standard Tag Library (JSTL)
1.2, JavaServer Faces 1.2, and JAX-WS 2.1.
IBM WebSphere Application Server V7 and Rational Application Developer V7.5 provide complete support for the Java EE 5
specification. Hands-on exercises throughout the course give students practical experience developing Java EE 5 code with
IBM Rational Application Developer V7.5 and deploying Java EE 5 applications to IBM WebSphere Application Server V7.
