Description

Many Java web frameworks, such as Struts, are built on top of the Servlet and JavaServer Page specifications and base libraries. To fully understand how these frameworks operate, and to be able to take full advantage of the facilities they offer, you should understand the foundations such frameworks are built on. This course takes you through building a web application using the base Servlet and JavaServer Page libraries. The course discusses the Model-View-Controller pattern using Servlets as the Controller and JavaServer Pages as the View. You will also learn how to hide complex UI interaction inside tag libraries. The course will show you how it is possible to build a web application using these fundamental technologies, and how other frameworks are built.

Description

Turn a blank page into a web application! In this course, Java EE: Getting Started, you'll learn how to develop a distributed web application based on two complementary technologies: Java EE and Angular. First, you'll begin by covering how to setup your development environment, design your domain model, map it to a relational database, bring transaction management, and then expose the business domain through a REST API. Along the way, you'll make sure the integration tests always pass. Finally, once the REST API is tested, documented, and up-and-running, you'll build an Angular front-end to interact with it through HTTP and JSon. By the end of this course, you'll have the fundamental knowledge to start building REST API's with Java EE and consuming them with Angular.

Start Course
Description

Java EE 7 has established itself as the preeminent Java stack for web and back-end developers. This code-focused course shows how to build a complete application covering most of the Java EE 7 specifications. You'll learn about how the Java EE platform has progressed through its history to the modern platform it is today, the foundations of building a web application in Java EE, and how to interoperate Java EE applications with external services. You'll also learn about architectural best practices when building a Java EE application. By the end of this course, you'll have a solid foundational for building Java EE applications of your own.

Start Course
Description

Applications are made up of business logic, interaction with other systems, user interfaces . . . and data. Most data manipulated by our Java applications have to be stored in databases, retrieved, and analyzed. In this course, Java Persistence API 2.2, you will learn the principle of object-relational mapping (ORM) and use Java Persistence API (JPA) to map your Java objects into relational databases.

Description

Context and Dependency Injection takes its roots from injection frameworks and today has become a common ground for several Java EE specifications. In this course you will discover the CDI programming model and its concept of "loose coupling, strong typing." You will see that decoupling goes further by bringing interceptors and decorators to the entire platform.

Description

Processing, storing, and retrieving valid data is crucial for an application, that's why validation is a common task that needs to be done in several layers of your application. In this course you will learn how Bean Validation allows developers to write constraints in a standard way and apply them everywhere (bean, properties, constructors, method parameters, and return value). You will also see how Bean Validation can be integrated in other Java EE specifications.

Building Asynchronous RESTful Services With Jersey

Start Course
Description

At the start of the course we establish a basic "Books" API -- an API that we continually improve and build upon throughout the course. We begin by deploying to Grizzly, and then implement a series of tests with JerseyTest. These tests are also continually expanded throughout the course. We explore Jersey's built-in dependency injection, and improve our API to take advantage of Jersey's async support. We switch from the built-in MOXy library in favor of Jackson to render our highly-tailored JSON and XML, and build a custom MessageBodyWriter along the way. We explore mapping exceptions to responses, and supporting conditional GET requests. We implement our own PATCH verb, and along with it, support for conditional updates as well. Finally we explore Jersey's support for filters and implement our own custom filter.
