Developing Applications with Java EE 6 on WebLogic Server 12c

Duration: 5 Days

What you will learn

The Developing Applications with Java EE 6 on WebLogic Server 12c course provides students with the knowledge to
build and deploy enterprise applications that comply with Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 6 Web Profile. The
technologies presented in this course include annotations, Session Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs), the Java Persistence
API (JPA), servlets, JavaServer Pages (JSPs) , JavaServer Faces (JSF), Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI), and
Bean Validation. The primary focus is the creation of a web-based application that is accessible from desktop and
mobile web browsers using JSF technology.
Students gain hands-on experience through labs that build an end-to-end application. Students will create web-based
user interfaces, primarily using JSF Facelet pages along with JSPs and servlets. Web-based interfaces for both desktop
and mobile devices are developed by students. User input is validated using the Bean Validation API and data is
persisted using JPA and optimistic locking. The labs explore session EJB components which are used to enable
container managed transactions and enhance application performance through the caching of data. Students learn to
assemble an application and how to deploy an application into an application server (Java EE platform runtime
environment). Lab exercises are performed using the NetBeans IDE and Oracle WebLogic Server.

Learn To:

Create JSF Facelet Pages
Develop Web Profile Applications
Use CDI
Update a databases with JPA
Create Mobile Web Applications
Perform Bean Validation
A Live Virtual Class (LVC) is exclusively for registered students; unregistered individuals may not view an LVC at any
time. Registered students must view the class from the country listed in the registration form. Unauthorized recording,
copying, or transmission of LVC content may not be made.
