Helping Java SE developers write Java EE applications

Red Hat Application Development I: Programming in Java EE (AD183) exposes experienced Java Standard Edition (Java SE) developers to the world of Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE).

This course is based on Red Hat® Enterprise Application Platform 7.0.

In this course, you will learn about the various specifications that make up Java EE. Through hands-on labs, you will transform a simple Java SE command line application into a multi-tiered enterprise application using various Java EE specifications, including Enterprise Java Beans, Java Persistence API, Java Messaging Service, JAX-RS for REST services, Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI), and JAAS for securing the application.

Course summary

• Generating multi-tiered Java EE applications.
• Packaging and deploying Java EE applications.
• Creating Enterprise Java Beans, including message-driven beans.
• Managing persistence.
• Creating REST services with JAX-RS.
• Implementing Contexts and Dependency Injection.
• Creating messaging applications with JMS.
• Securing Java EE applications with JAAS.

Audience for this course

This course is designed for Java developers who want to learn more about the specifications that comprise the world of Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE).

Prerequisites for this course

• Proficiency in developing Java SE applications, with 2+ years of experience required
• Proficiency in using an IDE such as Red Hat Developer Studio or Eclipse
• Experience with Maven is recommended but not required

Impact on the individual

As a result of attending this course, you should be able to describe most of the specifications in Java EE 7 and create a component with each specification. You will be able to convert a Java SE program into a multi-tiered Java EE application. You should be able to demonstrate these skills:

• Describe the architecture of multi-tiered Java EE applications.
• Package Java EE applications and deploy to Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform with various tools.
• Create an Enterprise Java Bean instance.
• Manage the persistence of data using Java Persistence API.
• Create a web service using JAX-RS.
• Properly apply context scopes to beans and inject resources into Java Beans.
• Store and retrieve messages using the Java Messaging Service.
• Secure a Java EE application.

Recommended next exam or course

• Introduction to OpenShift Applications (DO101)
• Red Hat Certified Enterprise Application Developer Exam (EX183)
