Course Description

The JBoss Seam Application Development (JB311) course teaches experienced Java developers how to efficiently use Seam to intelligently tie components together and manage increasingly complex IT systems. The course focuses on the core of the JBoss Seam Technology: rapid application development, an industry standard UR, Java Persistence APO (JPA) integration, end-to-end security, and integrated tooling in JBoss Developer Studio. Using clear interactive lectures and hand-on labs, this course also introduces SEAM integration points for rules engines, business process management and web services, in additional to covering the new SR-299 CDI standard, a feature of Java EE 6.
