Course Identifier: WSCM

Course Introduction:

WebSphere Studio Application Developer (WSAD) is replacing Visual Age for Java and WebSphere Studio to become the most complete J2EE integrated development environment (IDE).

This intensive ten-day hands-on course is aimed at getting developers quickly up to speed on developing advanced Web applications with XML, Web Services, and EJBs using IBM's WebSphere Studio Application Developer (WSAD). The tool combines the features of VisualAge for Java and WebSphere Studio into one complete J2EE development IDE. WSAD offers powerful integrated tools, editors, and wizards that allow for rapid development of all of the J2EE artifacts (HTML files, JSP, Java Classes and Servlets, EJB beans, XML deployment descriptors) in addition to powerful Web Services development tools.

Units Included:

WS2001 Introduction to WebSphere Studio Application Developer (WSAD) - This unit introduces the basic aspects and functions of the WSAD Workbench, which is the user interface for Application Developer. The unit helps students get up to speed quickly on navigating the workbench, understanding perspectives, customizing their workbench environment, and using the WSAD tools and wizards.

WS2002 Advanced WSAD Development - This unit focuses on more advanced features and tools offered by WSAD. The students will create a simple Java Application and learn how to develop, debug, share their files, and test their code using WSAD. They will also learn how to manage data sources and profile their applications.

WS2003-1 Developing JSP and Servlets with WSAD (Fast Track) - This unit covers the different web tools, such as the PageDesigner, offered by WSAD used to rapidly develop web applications. The students are guided through a web application that consists of HTML files, JSPs, Cascading Style Sheets and Servlets that demonstrate how to develop, debug and test their code. At the end of the course, their knowledge will be tested through a lab exercise where they will develop a web application on their own.

WS2004-1 EJB Development Using WSAD (Fast Track) - This unit covers using WSAD tools to rapidly develop EJBs. The students are guided through the development process and gain knowledge of mapping approaches, deployment code, security, and xml editors. They also learn to test, debug, and export EJB applications.

IN2002-2 XML and Java (Intermediate Track) - This unit illustrates how XML and Java work together to achieve many goals. Java will be used to parse XML sequentially (SAX) and in a hierarchy format (DOM). JAXP will then be used to determine the parsing method. It includes many examples and exercises to strongly illustrate how to use XML and Java together.

WS2005-2 Web Services (Intermediate Track) - This unit provides an introduction to Java Web Services and their interaction with other Java Components. It is designed to familiarize students with the installation and special considerations of each component.

Prerequisites:

• Understanding of Object-Oriented Concepts and Methodology
• Working knowledge of Intermediate Java
• Some knowledge of JavaBeans, Java Server Pages, and Servlets
• Previous experience with J2EE IDE helpful
