This course provides students with knowledge needed to use the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE platform) to create robust enterprise applications that allow for rapid change and growth. Participants gain an understanding of the strategies needed to create application blueprints that work well when implementing J2EE technologies. These strategies include effective decision making through the use of systemic qualities (such as scalability and flexibility), J2EE technology blueprints and design patterns,and iterative and incremental development.

who can benefit

Students who can benefit from this course are those who are responsible for the overall software architecture and design of J2EE technology-based enterprise software systems. These students would also require insight into the role of the enterprise architect and want to use J2EE technologies in n-tier enterprise systems. Existing architects can also benefit from an understanding of how to use J2EE technologies to improve quality of service in their enterprise systems.

prerequisites

To succeed fully in this course, students should be able to:

	Describe in outline form all J2EE technologies, including Enterprise JavaBeans, servlets, and JavaServer Pages
	Describe distributed computing and communication concepts
	Perform analysis and design of object-oriented software systems
	Describe iterative and incremental software development
	Use UML notation for modeling object-oriented systems

skills gained

Upon completion of this course, students should be able to:

	Make good use of J2EE component technologies to solve typical problems in system architecture
	Derive software systems using techniques outlined in the J2EE Blueprint and solutions defined in the J2EE Patterns Catalog
	Address quality-of-service requirements in a cost-effective manner using engineering trade-off techniques
	Describe the role of the architect and the products an architect delivers
	List and describe typical problems associated with large-scale enterprise systems
	Identify the benefits derived from using an iterative and incremental development process
