Application Server 10g R3: Build Java EE Applications II

Course Overview

This course teaches students how to design, develop, and deploy enterprise Java applications for Oracle Application Server 10g R3 using EJB 3.0 components.

Students learn to use session beans, message-driven beans, and entities as they create a secure database-backed application in practical hands-on labs. Students also learn to implement application security, handle transactions, and schedule execution of recurring application tasks using standards-based technologies.
