This course will teach the students how to use the Rational Rose modeling tool to design and implement a J2EE application. It covers Servlet, JSP and EJB modeling. It also covers database schema design. There are many labs that will give the students hands on experience.

Audience

J2EE developers, designers and architects who want to learn the model-driven development features of Rational Rose to develop n-Tier enterprise applications.

Prerequisites

Knowledge of Servlet, JSP and EJB.

Objective

This course teaches J2EE developers how to use Rational Rose to develop n-tier J2EE applications. During the labs, students build a complete application starting from the UI tier ending at the database tier.

Course duration

3 Days
