Sun Java System Application Server 7: Development
The Sun Java System Application Server 7: Development course provides students with the skills necessary to install and maintain the Sun Java System Application Server 7 (formerly Sun Java System Application Server 7) platform in a development environment. The ability to write programs in the Java programming language is required. However, programming tasks are kept to a minimum because the focus is on assembling, deploying, securing, executing, and troubleshooting Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE platform) technology applications on the Sun Java System Application Server 7 platform. Students use three tools that are bundled with the product: the Sun Java Studio 4, Enterprise Edition for Java software, the Ant build tool, and the Migration Tool. This course also includes the following topics: server architecture, data persistence and transactions, application assembly procedures and classloaders, sample applications bundled with the Sun Java System Application Server 7 software, the Java Message Service and message-driven beans, Java Remote Method Invocation over Internet Inter-ORB Protocol Technology (Java RMI-IIOP Technology) clients, an introduction to web services development, and application migration.
Please note: Sun has recently re-branded Sun ONE Application Server 7 to be Sun Java System Application Server 7. You may see reference to either name within the course description and course materials.
