Course: Javanista to Java Master - Part 2 Java EE

One of the best technologies for a Java-based web app is Jakarta Server Faces (JSF). Use this course to get your head around the various components of a JSF app and how to join them together to build a powerful website. After a theoretical overview of the components and design patterns of the JSF framework, practice building a simple JSF app using the Apache MyFaces API. Through this process, recognize how JSF Facelets can be used to define the UI of your app, how these bind to data stored in a backing bean, and how they can be deployed to a Jakarta EE container, such as Apache TomEE. By the end of the course, you'll have the knowledge and skills to develop and deploy a basic web app using Jakarta Server Faces.

Once you've created a Jakarta Server Faces (JSF) app, you'll likely want to define how users interact with it. This course demonstrates just how to do that. You'll begin by defining multiple pages in your app and setting up navigation among them. Next, you'll practice defining responses to user-triggered events, such as changing a value in a UI component or clicking a button. Moving along, you'll build a form to accept user input before configuring a variety of built-in and custom validators for each of the form's fields. By the end of the course, you'll be able to set your JSF app to respond to user actions and accept user input in the manner you require.

Jakarta Server Faces (JSF), a component-based framework, helps build rich and dynamic Java-based web apps. As part of this process, you might want to allow users to interact with a server-side database. Use this course to learn how to implement this capability in your JSF app. Begin by loading a database with data. Then, set up your JSF app to connect to the database, read that data, and render it in a dataTable. Next, allow for adding data by accepting user input and editing and deleting data through user interactions. Upon completion, you'll be able to allow your JSF app users to perform read, insert, update, and delete operations on a database.

An enterprise bean is a server-side component written in the Java programming language that simplifies the development of large, distributed applications. Get familiar with the fundamentals of enterprise beans and the most basic form of such beans, i.e., session beans using this course. You'll get a chance to examine the implementation of enterprise beans, set up an application server that can host enterprise beans, and explore different types of session beans. You'll also investigate how to develop a basic session bean, deploy it to the application server, and access it from a client application. Upon completion of this course, you'll have a foundational understanding of enterprise beans and how they encapsulate the business logic of an application.

Through this course, learn how to perform specialized tasks using advanced forms of enterprise beans, such as message-driven beans, the timer service, and the integration of beans with a relational database. You'll examine how to set up a message queue in an application server, develop both the consumer bean and the producer program, and implement the enterprise beans timer service. This course will also help you explore the steps involved in setting up a data source to connect to a relational database and using it to integrate your enterprise beans to such a database. After finishing this course, you'll have gained a deeper understanding of the different use cases and features of Jakarta Enterprise Beans.

Final Exam: Java EE will test your knowledge and application of the topics presented throughout the Java EE track of the Skillsoft Aspire Javanista to Java Master Journey.
