EJB 2 (Enterprise Java Beans) Training Course

Overview

The Enterprise JavaBeans EJB 2 training course has been specially designed for professionals looking to build large-scale, scalable, robust, secure, component-based, high-performance, distributed and transactional systems using the EJB 2.1 specification and deploying it as a J2EE application. You will learn the concepts and architecture of Entity Bean, Session Beans, Message-Driven beans. You will learn about EJB design patterns and best practices. You will also learn about modeling the entity-relationships from the enterprise database schema and enforcing those relationships in the EJB component framework using Container-Managed relationships. These concepts are further reinforced through the use of well-crafted exercises at appropriate points throughout the course. For this course, we support the following application servers and tools.

• WebSphere Application Server
• WebLogic
• Oracle
• JBoss

And the following IDEs

• Rational Application Developer (RAD)
• Eclipse

Objectives

The Enterprise JavaBeans EJB 2 training course aims to teach a set of advanced skills necessary to implement robust, scalable, reusable enterprise applications using the EJB 2.1 specification. This course also provides a comprehensive coverage of issues in the EJB architecture and its supporting APIs. At the end of EJB 2 training course, the participants will be able to:

• Develop robust and industrial-strength applications using EJB 2.1
• Package the application to deploy it on a J2EE-compliant server
• Master the EJB architecture
• Master the EJB APIs
• Build Session beans (stateless and stateful)
• Build container-managed persistence (CMP) Entity beans
• Build bean-managed persistence (BMP) Entity beans
• Build Message-Driven beans
• Use the timer service
• Use container-managed relationships (CMR) to model relationships between entity beans
• Use the EJBQL query language to implement custom finders and Ejb Select methods
• Master the EJB transactional model
• Master the EJB security model

Suggested Audience

• Enterprise Java Developers
• System Designers and Architects

Duration - 5 Days
