Java Training : Java Servlets Using WebLogic 6

The Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) is a comprehensive, sophisticated technology for creating enterprise applications. An important part of J2EE is the capability to create powerful web-based front-end applications. The servlet is the building block of these web applications.

A servlet is a Java component for receiving and handling web-based requests. It is also the foundation for JavaServer Pages (JSPs), which let you reply to a request with a dynamic web page.

This course will, through lecture and hands-on workshops, teach you how to write servlets and use them to build web applications. It includes coverage of important topics such as HTTP sessions and multi-threading. It uses BEA's WebLogic 6, a full-featured, state of the art industrial-strength J2EE server.

Note that this course mentions but does not cover JavaServer Pages; they are covered separately in a follow-on course.

Java Training Prerequisites

Students are expected to know the Java programming language and how to write a Java program. Familiarity with web programming, HTML and CGI is helpful but not essential.

Java Training Course duration
