Role
The Java EE application developer for WebSphere Application Server is expected to develop, test, debug and deploy Java EE applications. These applications may use Java EE Web components such as Servlets, JavaServer Pages, Java Standard Tag Library (JSTL), and JavaServer Faces. The applications may also use Java Persistence Architecture (JPA), Enterprise JavaBean (EJB), and Web services.
The Java EE application developer will also use an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) such as IBM Rational Application Developer or Eclipse to develop Java EE applications, package and deploy them to the IBM WebSphere Application Server runtime environment.Server runtime environment.
Assumptions
It is assumed that the individual following this roadmap has basic skills in the following areas:
- Working knowledge of the Java programming (see step 1)
- Experience developing dynamic Web-based applications
Objectives
After completing this training, students should be able to:
- Develop Web application using sevlets, JSPs and JSF with Rational Application Developer and WebSphere Application Server (see step 2)
- Develop OSGi application development (see step 3)
- Develop, test, debug, package and deploy Java EE application using EJBs with Rational Application Developer (see step 4)
- Develop SOA applications (see step 5)
- Develop mobile applications with IBM Worklight (see step 6)
