Java EE 6 Hands-on Workshop - Part 2

Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 6 (Java EE 6) provides new capabilities that make it easier to develop and deploy enterprise and Web applications. It provides a simplified developer experience and improves on the developer productivity features introduced in Java EE 5. It breaks the “one size fits all” approach in previous releases with Profiles and offers a comprehensive Web profile for lightweight, standards-based modern Web applications. The Web profile allows developers to build web applications quickly and prevents proliferation of custom web stacks for easier maintainability. The platform enables extensibility by embracing open source libraries and frameworks such that they are treated as first class citizens of the platform. Several specifications like Contexts & Dependency Injection,Java Server Faces 2, Java API for RESTful Services, Java Persistence API 2, and Servlets 3 make the platform more powerful. All these specifications are implemented in GlassFish Open Source Edition 3 - a modular (OSGi based) light-weight, embeddable, extensible, and the open source reference implementation for Java EE 6. NetBeans, Eclipse, and IntelliJ provide extensive tooling for Java EE 6 and GlassFish Open Source Edition.

In this coding-intensive session, the attendees will learn how to use the Java EE 6 new/updated technologies such as EJB 3.1, JSF 2, JPA 2, Servlets 3, and CDI 1.0 to create simple Web applications. The attendees will get familiar with Java EE 6 development cycle using NetBeans, Eclipse, and IntelliJ IDEs. Existing Java EE developers will learn how their existing applications are mapped to Java EE 6. Note: Please come with a laptop pre-installed with NetBeans 6.9, "All" bundle.
