Developing Java Web Applications
Course Description
This course teaches you how to create Web interfaces using JavaServer Pages technology. It covers the very latest technologies that are now available to the Java Web application developer, including the JSP Standard Tag Library,
Struts, JavaServer Faces, Portlets and the JSP Expression Language as well as JSP architecture, working with JavaBeans, and how to interface with Enterprise JavaBeans and Web services. The training course can be delivered using a number of development tools, including IBM Rational Application Developer, Oracle JDeveloper, Eclipse, or a basic text editor. The training course can be delivered on most deployment environments, including Tomcat, WebSphere, Oracle AS, JBoss, and WebLogic.
