PRO687
JEE Application Development - Open Source Tech.
Availability
 

Prerequisite(s):

PRO684 and WEB222

Students learn the architecture of the open source technologies as Struts and Hibernate. Students learn how to set up an extensible development environment for J2EE AJAX techniques for creating interactive web applications, Web Struts based Applications and persist the data using Hibernate. The course covers in detail most aspects of the implementation with regards to reusability, scalability, internationalization and maintainability of the application. AJAX is the methodology of getting the web pages to feel more responsive by exchanging small amounts of data with the server behind the scenes, which will lead to a more flexible and reliable web application. The Struts framework has the acceptance of the industry and unveils a large usability along many J2EE applications with large cover for financial, banking, industrial and manufacturing sectors. The framework wants to be extensible and flexible in order to be used on different applications with no pre-requirements except the J2EE environment. Hibernate is gaining a lots of popularity and lets you develop persistent classes following common Java idiom - including association, inheritance, polymorphism, composition and the Java collections framework. Hibernate has been used to shape the new EJB entity bean portion of specifications.

Completion

Recognition of Achievement

Upon successful completion of the program requirements, please submit a Request for Recognition of Achievement Form to the Faculty of Continuing Education and Training. There is no cost for this and your Recognition of Achievement will be sent to you electronically.

Facilities

Students will use networked mid-range and PC computer platforms to access today's leading operating systems (Windows, .Net, UNIX and OS/400 on the AS/400). The College uses SFTP and SSH access modes for some courses to enable work to be done from home. Most programming and networking courses and labs are located at Seneca@York Campus. The programming course students are expected to log 20-30 hours of lab time in addition to classroom time. The lab hours are extensive. Please check with the learning commons or Open Lab for their hours of operation. During evening hours, Continuing Education students have priority over day students; until 7 p.m. on weekdays, full-time students have priority, but Continuing Education students may use facilities that are not occupied. On weekends, Continuing Education and full-time students have equal right to the use of the labs. Your registration receipt is your passport to the lab, although AS/400, UNIX and other users may also require account codes and passwords provided by their instructor. In some courses, students will be required to purchase removable hard drive kits or other hardware. In most courses students will require a USB Drive for storing programming assignments.

Program Changes

The Computer Studies credit program undergoes constant revision to ensure its relevance in today's changing job market. Some courses have been thoroughly revised to reflect technological change. Certain courses and codes may change without prior notice.

Help!

On scheduled Program Information evenings, or by special appointment, you can meet with a Computer Studies coordinator for help in choosing courses. To obtain waivers of prerequisites, and apply for transfer credits, please call 416-491-5050, ext 33025.
