Mastering Java EE with Spring, Hibernate and JPA

Java EE provides an environment for distributed applications, which make use of services to provide for high performing enterprise class level support. Understanding the basic technologies and linking them together requires a lot of knowledge and deeper insight in the Java EE stack. Open source frameworks can facilitate the development work, and hide the complexity of the Java EE platform.

During this track, participants will be immersed in:

• the object oriented techniques for the development of distributed applications;
• the implementation of standard Java components (beans, servlets, JSP, EJB);
• the usage of standard and non-standard frameworks from the Java EE stack: Spring for the web front-end, Hibernate and Java Persistence Architecture (JPA) for persistence and the back-end access to a relational DBMS;
• the Java APIs and services necessary to create and integrate distributed applications;
• the tools and utilities of an IDE to build, test, prepare and deploy the components and applications in order to use them in a distributed environment.

Participants are going to develop a distributed application by using the Spring and Hibernate frameworks interacting with Java EE facilities. Data will be persisted to a relational DBMS. The combination of Java APIs and the implementation of services (transactional, security, logging, ...) will be put into practice by means of an integrated case study.

Note: if you want to master Java EE with standard frameworks, you can choose the alternate course Mastering the standard Java EE stack.
