Training Course Summary:

This developer-focused course teaches you how to use Rational XDE to develop multi-layered J2EE enterprise applications.
Using Rational XDE, the course emphasizes the practical skills needed to develop and deploy entity and session beans, JavaBeans™, servlets, and JSP pages, while also introducing model-driven development techniques such as data modeling and transformation, as well as patterns and code templates.

Pre-Requisites:

Essentials of Developing Java™ Applications with Rational® XDE™
Recommended Experience
This course assumes working knowledge of the following frameworks and technologies:
•JDK 1.3 or higher (including JavaBeans TM , Reflection, RMI, and JDBC)
•J2EE (including Servlets, JSP, Enterprise JavaBeans TM and general J2EE technologies)
Familiarity with UML and the Java development environment of Rational XDE (such as its perspectives and views) is desirable.

Who Should Attend:

This course is intended for J2EE developers who are interested in learning the model-driven development capabilities of Rational XDE used to develop multi-layered enterprise applications.

Training Course Overview/Content:

Upon completion of the course, participants should be able to:
•Describe the Java development environment of Rational XDE.
•Describe Rational XDE modeling projects and model types.
•Identify the characteristics and typical components of enterprise software.
•Describe a layered architecture for a J2EE enterprise application.
•Interpret software development artifacts such as a use-case model, a use-case specification, and a design model, to develop a J2EE enterprise application.
•Identify the elements of a design model, including collaborations, use-case realizations, design layers, subsystems, interfaces, and classes.
•Model session and entity beans, including EJB 2.0 beans, JavaBeans, servlets, JSP pages and HTML pages.
•Distinguish between the model elements of an enterprise bean (local and remote interfaces, container-managed persistent fields, etc.).
•Identify the characteristics of patterns and code templates.
•Apply patterns (such as Core J2EE patterns) and code templates.
•Define the characteristics of reusable assets in Rational XDE.
•Demonstrate how to import and export reusable assets.
•Identify the elements of a data model.
•Demonstrate how to transform database tables to classes and entity beans.
•Distinguish between the model elements of database tables and entity beans.
•Model deployment descriptor properties such as EJB 2.0 query language statements and reference relationships to other beans.
•Interpret EJB reference relationships in a model and code.
•Demonstrate how to deploy EAR, WAR, and EJB-JAR files to target application servers.
