In this course, topics will include:

• a complete exploration of all types of beans, from session beans to message-driven beans and entity beans
• a deep look at the Java Persistence Architecture (JPA) and object-relational mapping mechanisms
• enterprise services such as context & dependence injection (CDI), security, transactions, interceptors and timers
• application client integration
• testing inside and outside the EJB container

The Java EE architecture will be explained using comprehensive sample applications with integrated EJB components.

• Java EE introduction
  • Java EE architecture • Java EE application model • Java EE platform
  • Java EE business components
• Java Persistence Architecture (JPA)
  • Java persistence API - Entity Manager and Entities
  • Object relational mapping
  • JPA annotations: entities • relations • inheritance • collections
  • persisting objects
  • querying • criteria API
• Session beans
  • Stateless • Stateful • Singleton
• Message-driven beans
  • Messaging and JMS
  • MDB implementation and configuration of messaging engine
• Services
  • (Context) Dependence Injection (CDI)
  • Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI)
  • Security
  • Transactions
  • Interceptors
  • Timer service
• Design considerations

The participant will not only learn the basic theory, but will also gain hands-on experience by working on trainer-led exercises. The interactivity of this workshop is an undeniable advantage for getting a complete EJB 3.x experience.

Delivered as a live, interactive training: available in-person or online, or in a hybrid format. Training can be implemented in English, Dutch, or French.

A good knowledge of Java SE and a basic understanding of JDBC is a prerequisite for this course (see courses Java programming and JDBC).

Java architects, designers and developers who wish to learn how to use the EJB 3 component model to effectively build enterprise Java applications.
