Tutorial Program MONDAY Learning Servlets Jason Hunter Monday, 3/27/2000 at 8:45 AM Investigate the world of Java servlets, a server extension technology commonly used for creating dynamic Web content. You will explore the role and advantages of servlets by comparing them to technologies such as CGI and JSP. You will learn the intricacies of the Servlet API and lifecycle, and view several servlets being put to practical use. By the end of this tutorial you will have the skills and tools required to develop outstanding server-side Java Web applications. Course Outline Servlet definition Servlets versus the competition Servers that support servlets How to write and run a simple servlet The servlet lifecycle Retrieving request information Structure of an HTTP response Setting status codes and headers Practical error handling Session tracking Database connectivity Database connection pools Applet-servlet communication Image generation Sending compressed content Sending internationalized content Prerequisites This course is intended for developers who want to create Web applications in Java. Participants should be familiar with Java, but previous experience with servlets is not required. Using JDBC on the Web George Reese Monday, 3/27/2000 at 8:45 AM Learn how to build database-powered Web sites using JDBC with servlet technology. Participants will explore database programming in Java and how to use database access to create dynamic Web content. The tutorial begins with a look at the high level architecture of JDBC and its design philosophy. We will briefly examine the division between the JDBC interfaces and various implementations, with a focus on what a developer needs to know in order to get connected to a database. We will dive into the details of issuing queries against a relational database from a Java application. The Java application of our focus will be a Java servlet that serves up dynamic HTML content based on the results of database queries. This paradigm will be used to move through various parts of the JDBC API, from simple queries to prepared statements to the more complex features of the JDBC Standard Extension. Course Outline Connecting to a database Basic SQL access to a relational database Prepared SQL Design and performance tips Connection pooling JNDI data stores Prerequisites This course is designed for people familiar with the basic concepts of the Java programming language.

Introduction to JavaServer Pages Govind Seshadri Monday, 3/27/2000 at 1:30 PM The ultimate goal of most server-side scripting technologies is to facilitate the seperation of presentation from content, when delivering dynamic content. This seperation is vital to generate maximum synergy between server-side developers and Web page designers, especially on larger applications. While there are numerous proprietary solutions available, feware as powerful and effective as JSP. JSP pages, by making use of Java as ascripting language, makes implementing platform-independent, highly interactive web pages a cinch. JSP technology also plays a strategic role in the recently announced Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) platform, as it is the recommended gateway for accessing Enterprise services over the Web. In this session, you will examine the details behind the JSP architecture, and understand advanced programming issues including session management, multithreaded access, JavaBean integration, and exception handling. Inshort -- everything to help you get jump-started with this interesting technology. Course Outline Learn how to use this technolgy in real-life through the JSP application models Understand how JSP can be integrated with servlets Examine multithreading, session management and exception handling issues with JSP pages Understand the JSP architecture and how the technology works Examine the link between JSP and XML-Get an in-depth introduction to JSP syntax and semantics Prerequisites A good understanding of Java syntax/Web computing fundamentals/Knowledge of servlets helpful Inside Enterprise Java Beans Alex Chaffee Monday, 3/27/2000 at 1:30 PM Enterprise JavaBeans is the hot new enterprise server-side component architecture for Java.

XML for Java Developers Brett McLaughlin Tuesday, 3/28/2000 at 8:45 AM Take a look at the hottest thing to hit the development world since Java. We will take a candid look at XML and its companion technologies, XSL, DTDs, XML Schema, and others. Discussion of XML syntax and usage will prepare developers to manipulate XML data. The tutorial will then cover the three primary APIs for manipulating XML, SAX, DOM, and JAXP. The tools that each provides will be examined, as well as practical uses of each. Current information on DOM Level 2 and SAX 2 will be included in the discussions, and a frank discussion on where XML is heading in the coming year will follow. Finally, publishing engines such as Cocoon will be examined as a platform for performing advanced XML publishing, using XSLT, and remote procedure calls using XML-RPC will be discussed as alternatives to RMI in certain situations. We'll see it all through a developer's eye; this is a no-marketing, show me what works tutorial. Course Outline Introduction to XML Alphabet soup XML syntax XML parsing XML APIs for Java SAX for parsing DOM for trees JAXP (Java APIs for XML parsing) Using XML in Java applications Cocoon and XSLT XML-RPC Prerequisites Familiarity with the Java language is assumed. Some background in XML concepts, as well as multi-tiered application development experience, is helpful but not required. JMS Explored and Exploited David Linthicum Tuesday, 3/28/2000 at 8:45 AM JMS adds a common API and provider framework that enables the Java developer to dispatch and receive messages with other Java-enabled applications or applets existing anywhere on the network. JMS defines a common set of messaging concepts and programming strategies, and provides a good mix of the messaging features common to most messaging products-important but hardly revolutionary. The difficulty is to support these concepts and strategies from JMS-compliant vendor to JMS-compliant vendor. If successful, the resulting products will not only share common characteristics, but will have the ability to share messages as well--something that has yet to be perfected with more traditional, message-oriented middleware products. In this session, we take an in-depth look at JMS, including its architecture and uses, and present a live demonstration of typical JMS development and implementation. Course Outline The JMS standard JMS development JMS at work Heterogeneous messaging and JMS Products that use JMS JMS demonstration Prerequisites Java developers, XML developers, e-business professionals, application architects, development managers, CIOs, and CTOs will benefit from this class. Attendees should have a working knowledge of Java and Java APIs (e.g., JDBC). Java 2 Security Fundamentals Marco Pistoia, Larry Koved, and Anthony Nadalin Tuesday, 3/28/2000 at 1:30 PM Java is fashionable, but is it reliable? Java is entertaining, but is it secure? Java is useful, but is it safe? The purpose of this course is to answer those questions, from the point of view of people who want to use Java, but want to do so reliably, securely, and safely. This makes this course different from much recent discussions on Java, which focus, perfectly legitimately, on how a Java system can be broken into and how to avoid those dangers. On the contrary, this course focuses on how Java can be made secure and how to exploit its strengths. The goal is to provide practical help to development, deployment and administrative groups involved in making a Java-based application or Web site into an industrial-strength commercial proposition. Course Outline Introduction to Java security JVM security architecture Class loader Class file verifier Security manager Configuring Java 2 security on a client platform Java 2 security tools Java 2 security API Java cryptography Java and firewalls Java and SSL Server-side Java security JAASEJB security Future directions of Java security Prerequisites This course is designed for intermediate and advanced Java programmers who need to implement security controls in their applications.
