Java Servlets and JSP

Introduction

Although it was originally thought that Java might achieve success and take-up through client-side applets, it was on the server side that Java achieved its most consistent take-up.

Java Servlet technology and Java Server Pages (JSP) allow web developers to create dynamic content using a known, portable, standard, open language--Java.

The course uses the open-source Tomcat container. Other containers are by special arrangement only.

Duration and Construction

The course lasts three days. It is based on a cycle of theory-language-practice-review, with approximately two cycles per day. One non-trivial, practical case-study is developed during the course.

Each day will start at 09.00 and finish at 16.30.

Intended Audience

Participants will be practising software engineers who already know and use Java. They may have attended the Advanced Java course. Participants should also be familiar with the basics of HTTP, HTML and the Web.

Aims

• To understand the J2EE architecture
• To review HTTP and XML
• To understand and practise the creating and deploying of servlets
• To understand and practise the creating and deploying of JavaServer Pages (JSP)

Numbers

We recommend that there are no more than 10 participants, each working at his or her own machine.
