In this course, participants learn:

  • different architectures for web applications;
  • to develop web applications with Java;
  • how to create the user interface and communicate with the server using servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSP);
  • how to prepare web applications for deployment and execution in the server environment.

Using Enterprise Java Beans is discussed in the follow-up course Java EE: building enterprise applications with EJB 3.x and JPA.

Schedule

No public sessions are currently scheduled. We will be pleased to set up an on-site course or to schedule an extra public session (in case of a sufficient number of candidates). Interested? Please let us know.

Intended for

Application programmers who are going to develop web applications with Java.

Background

A thorough knowledge (at least 3 months of practice) of Java (see courses Java concepts and Java programming) and familiarity with internet concepts is required. Some familiarity with HTML (see course HTML and CSS) and understanding the concepts of XML (see course XML concepts) is an advantage.

Main topics

  • Architecture of web applications
  • Client side programming of user interfaces:
  • HTML
  • Java applets
  • Server side programming:
  • Java servlets
  • HTTP protocol
  • servlet API
  • use of forms
  • JavaServer Pages and JSP tags
  • Structuring web applications
  • redirection
  • session management

Training method

Besides theoretical foundations, live demonstrations are given. There is also time provided to implement the theory in practical exercises. For the public courses, a Tomcat or IBM WebSphere Application Server is used for deploying and running the applications. Other application servers can be used for company courses.

Duration
