Building Java Enterprise Applications with Design Patterns: Hands-On

Course: 318   Type: Hands-On   Duration: 4 Days
Quick Enrol  

You Will Learn How To

  • Architect Java EE applications using industry-recognised best practices
  • Create flexible and powerful designs for core business logic
  • Design a data layer that manages transactions and optimises queries
  • Centralise control logic in the Web presentation tier using Java EE patterns
  • Compare the designs of popular Java EE frameworks and choose the right one for your projects
  • Build software that can evolve in response to changing requirements

Course Benefits
The wide variety of Java enterprise technologies presents many challenges to designing an effective Java system. Java EE design patterns help by providing best practices, design ideas and proven techniques. In this course, you gain experience building scalable and maintainable Java EE applications. You learn to apply Java EE patterns to solve commonly recurring design problems.

Who Should Attend
Anyone currently designing or developing Java EE applications. As emphasis is on software design, familiarity with Java code at the level of Course 471, "Java Programming Comprehensive Introduction", is required. Experience with Java EE is beneficial.

Hands-on Training
Throughout this course, you gain experience designing flexible, robust Java EE applications. Exercises include:
  • Writing a simple distributed chat application
  • Implementing a complex Web-based Java EE application
  • Designing and implementing a flexible domain model
  • Refactoring an integration tier using design patterns
  • Employing the Object/Relational mapping capabilities of Hibernate
  • Designing detailed Web application workflows
  • Utilising the Struts Web Framework
