Servlet and JSP Development with Rational Application Developer V6.0

Course Description

NOTE: THIS IS AN INSTRUCTOR-LED ONLINE COURSE. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS FOR THIS COURSE.

Unless otherwise noted, all instructor-led online classes will take place from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM U.S. EST.

If you are a Java developer who wants to learn how to develop and test Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) applications using servlets and JavaServerPages (JSPs), then this course is for you. Also, learn how to use the IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software V6 tool for servlet and JSP development and testing.

Learn to develop and test server-side applications based on the J2EE component model. Develop and test server-side applications that use servlets, JSPs, JSP custom tags, and servlet filters for the control and flow of e-business applications.

Develop and test servlets, servlet filters, JSPs, JSP custom tags, and JavaBeans. Learn the best practices for building J2EE e-business applications, including the use of the Model-View-Controller (MVC) framework to separate concerns among the JavaBeans, JSPs, and servlets in the application.

Learn about deployment issues pertinent to the developer. Use IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software Version 6.0 for the lab exercises.

If you are already a J2EE developer and are only interested in learning how to use the IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software Version 6.0 product, you should not take this course (WF311), but you should complete one of the following courses instead:

• Transition to IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software V6 (WF601)
• Developing Web Applications with IBM Rational Application Developer V6  (WF531)

If you are interested in this course using WebSphere Studio Application Developer, Version 5.1.1 you should complete:

• Servlet and JSP Development using WebSphere Studio Application Developer V5.1.1  (WF319)
