Java Web Development - Servlets & JSP
Overview
The Java Web Development - Servlets & JSP course introduces delegates to JEE 6 versions of these popular and extensively used aspects of the Java Enterprise Edition platform. It explains the design, development and deployment of web applications using these core Java technologies.
Using a hands-on workshop approach, delegates learn the fundamentals of Java server side web development and understand those issues and approaches associated with these technologies.
Prerequisites
Java programming experience.
Understanding of web markup languages (HTML, XHTML) would be advantageous.
Objectives
By the end of the course delegates should be able to:
- Write code to generate dynamic HTML pages
- Create web applications using Servlets
- Use tag libraries to develop Java Server Pages
- Investigate web applications using Java Server Faces
- Use MVC architecture
- Use session management and filters in web applications
- Integrate web applications with the database
- Create view components using JSP EL and JSTL
- Understand web application security
