Web Component Development With Servlet and
JSP Technologies (SL-314)JavaServer Pages (JSP) and
servlets are the key web tier technologies defined in the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (
J2EE platform). The Web Component Development With Servlet and JSP
Technologies course provides experienced Java developers a way to obtain the knowledge and skills necessary to quickly build web applications from JSP and servlet technologies using the web container and the Struts framework. Students are exposed to the current methods for analyzing, designing, developing, and deploying web applications with Java technologies. Real-world lab exercises provide students with experience in constructing and deploying the small to medium scale web applications found in intranet and low-volume commercial sites. The students perform the course lab exercises using the NetBeans Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
This course also is an ideal method of preparing for the revised Sun Certified Web Component Developer (SCWCD) for J2EE 1.4 certification examination. However, an SCWCD candidate should also spend six months building real-world web applications using the JSP and servlet technologies before taking the exam.
Who Can BenefitJava programming language developers with skills equivalent to that of a Sun Certified Java Developer, who are creating web components (such as servlets and custom tags) used in the assembly and generation of dynamic web content. This is not a course for web page designers using Hypertext Markup Language (HTML),
JavaScript technology, or other web presentation technologies.
Prerequisites
To succeed fully in this course, students should be able to:Write Java applications, demonstrating significant programming ability

Write a web page using HTML
Skills GainedUpon completion of this course, students will be able to:
Write Java servlets
Create robust web applications using Struts, session management, filters, and database integration
Write JSP pages
Create easy to maintain JSP pages using the Expression Language, JSP Standard Tag Library (JSTL), and the Struts Tiles framework
Create robust web applications that integrate Struts and JSP pages
