What you’ll learn
Gain a practical understanding of Java EE technologies and how to integrate them into modern enterprise applications. You’ll learn how to develop Java systems that create front-end web pages using tools such as Servlets, Java Server Pages and WebSocket, and develop back-end components using EJB, CDI and bean validation.
Introduction to Java EE
Explore the fundamentals of Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) and how it supports the development of scalable, web-based enterprise applications. You’ll gain insights into the key components of Java EE, including how web applications are structured and why technologies like Servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSP) play a central role. The course also introduces the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern and its importance in separating concerns within enterprise systems.
Front-end development with Java
Learn how to create responsive, data-driven user interfaces using Servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSP), supported by standard tag libraries. This course covers how to manage user sessions effectively, configure application parameters, and handle common web application errors gracefully. You’ll also explore the Servlet lifecycle and how filters and listeners enhance request handling, giving you the tools to build strong and user-focused front-end experiences.
Back-end integration
Gain experience with Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB), Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI), and Bean Validation to build a reliable back-end architecture. This module demonstrates how to structure and manage business logic in a way that supports scalability and long-term maintainability. You’ll explore lifecycle management, modular design, and validation techniques that ensure your applications remain efficient, adaptable and aligned with enterprise-grade standards.
