Class Overview

This two-day course teaches Java programmers how to build dynamic web applications using JavaServer Pages, Servlets and JavaBeans. These technologies combine to form the presentation side of a J2EE web-based application. Students will implement a Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture for their web applications. This course is current to the Servlet 3.0 specification and runs on Tomcat 7.0.

Audience: Java programmers who need to develop web applications using JSPs and Servlets.

Prerequisites: Java and HTML programming experience is required.

Class Length: 2 days

Class Objectives

  • Write web applications that combine Java Servlets, JavaServer Pages, and JavaBeans using the Model-View-Controller architecture.
  • Use JavaBeans to encapsulate business and data access logic.
  • Generate HTML or XML output with JavaServer pages.
  • Process HTTP requests with Java Servlets.
  • Configure your web application with the web.xml deployment descriptor.
  • Create scriptless JSPs by using JSTL tags combined with JSP Expression Language for functionality, such as conditionals, iteration, internalization and XML processing.
