SL-355-EE6 Version: A

Business Component Development with Enterprise JavaBeans Technology

Length: 3 Days

Course Description:

The latest release of the Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) 3.1 Technology available in the Java EE 6 platform builds on previous EJB technology and further simplifies how developers approach creating business components. EJB 3.1 makes many improvements that reflect common usage patterns, including: Singletons, No-interface view, Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI), Asynchronous Session Bean, and Timer Service.

The Business Component Development with Enterprise JavaBeans Technology course provides students with the knowledge required to build robust back-end functionality using Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB[TM]) version 3.1 technology. The course provides a practical exploration of the EJB technology coding experience of session beans and message driven-beans. The course also examines EJB design, best practices, transaction management, messaging fundamentals, and security.

The course features the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 6 (Java EE 6) technology, and uses the Java EE 6 SDK. The students perform the course lab exercises using the NetBeans Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The hands-on lab environment uses the Java EE GlassFish v3 server.
