Course Description

The course is optional designed for Engineering Master of Computer Science in International Engineering Institute. This course concentrates on architecting, designing, and develops persistent software applications using application server technology. Students will learn how to configure and operate application servers in production environments.

Prerequisite

• Basic knowledge of the Core JFC/MFC classes.

• Basic programming knowledge: the ability to write programs independently.

Course Objectives

This course introduces the installation, configuration, management, and application capabilities of the application server. After this course, students should:

• Understand the principles of application servers,

• Understand core application server technologies, and to

• Use application server technology design and development techniques.

CourseSyllabus

• Introduction to application servers: key concepts, supporting technology, ongoing project overview and others.

• OMA-centric application server technology: legacy page-based application server technology, distributed object computing concepts, object management architecture.

• SOA infrastructures: SOA patterns, SOA methodologies, web services 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0, SOA implementation case study.

• Business process management platforms: history of BPM, BPM standards, business model engineering.

• Portal frameworks: introduction to portals, remote portlets web services (RPWS), portal security models, business processes /workflow support in portals.
