CIW Enterprise Specialist Series:

Enterprise JavaBeans (CIWBEANS)

Enterprise JavaBeans is a three-day course that teaches the fundamentals of Enterprise JavaBeans. Students learn about the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (2JEE) technologies; EJB concepts, methodology, and development; EJB-compliant servers, and how Enterprise JavaBeans are used by remote client applications. Students also learn about database connectivity and transactions, how to develop session beans and entity beans, and gain hands-on experience working with Enterprise JavaBeans.

Target Audience

Database developers and administrators, Internet application developers, middleware programmers, Java developers, and client/server developers.

Job Responsibilities

Develop n-tier database and legacy connectivity solutions for Web applications using Java, Java APIs, Java Database Connectivity solutions, middleware tools, and distributed object models.
