Java Servlets 3.0 and JSP Programming

Ce cours n'est actuellement pas prévu sur le calendrier ouvert, mais peuvent être organisé sur demande.

Demande de cours

Nombre de jours

3 day(s)

Audience

Java consultants, developers and architects

Prerequisites

Some experience with the Java programming language is required.

Objectives

This course teaches everything you need to know to be able to develop web applications using server-side Java.

Methods

Class training alternated with exercises. Each student will be able to work on a personal workstation for the duration of the course.

Description

The course starts by explaining how to build a web application using Servlets, and shows the benefits of Servlets and the Servlet component architecture. It will make clear how Servlets work inside a Servlet Container, and what is necessary to write your own Servlets. Participants will learn how to use the Servlet API for generating HTML, to create and send Cookies, to do session management and server-side redirects.

The course continues with an introduction to the JSP technology and how JSP complements the servlet technology for representing HTML. The different JSP tags and short-hand notations are explained, as well as the use of JavaBeans to represent data.

At the end of the course, the participants will learn how to combine the Servlet and JSP technologies to create Model-2 Applications, using the Model-View-Controller Pattern. This will enable them to create more reliable and maintainable web applications. Additional topics include JSP Standard Tag Library (JSTL) and the creation of custom tags.

During the course there are numeral exercises, giving the participants some practical experience with the use of both Servlets and JSP. At the end of the course, participants will be able to create web applications using the standard web components of the Java Enterprise Edition, which will increase their understanding of common web frameworks such as Struts and JSF.
