Advance booking fee: Rs. 5000/= (Rest payable before training start)

Description:

Spring Framework is a revolutionary application development framework that has dramatically changed the way Java applications are built and integrated together. While the original versions had limited features, Spring has now evolved to a stage that it is so serious to be neglected. Spring helps applications be developed faster, encourages loose coupling, modularization, testability and reuse of components. It also simplifies integration, adaptability and reconfigurability of Java applications to an unexampled level.

While the number of extensions are high, this training focuses on the core of Spring Framework and a number of mostly used extensions. The set of features covered during the training are in most of the cases more than required for typical Spring based application development irrespective of the size and complexity.

Training Objectives:

At the end of the training, participants will be able to
  1. Use Spring Framework to build stand-alone Java applications
  2. Use Spring Framework to build Java EE applications (Middle-tier or Web-tier including JSF applications)
  3. Use Aspect-Oriented Programming features of Spring
  4. Use Spring to access databases in multiple ways and manage transactions declaratively
  5. Use Web services and JMS for remoting purposes of a Spring based application

Target Groups:

  1. Java Standard Edition application developers
  2. Java Enterprise Edition application developers

Prerequisites:

  1. Participants should be familiar with the Java programming language.
  2. This training does not teach the concepts of Java Enterprise Edition. However, before each such technology is used with Spring, a brief introduction will be provided for the benefit of those who are not familiar with them.

Communication Language:

English (With Sinhala explanations if requested)

Duration:

2 Days (16 hours)

Facilitator:

Kamal Wickramanayake (Profile)

Notes:

  1. This training is delivered with hands-on lab exercises. Participants will get exposed to a number of applications that demonstrates what they learn.
  2. This training does NOT teach you the details of JDBC, Hibernate, JPA, JSP, Servlets, JSF, Web Services and JMS. This training teaches you how to use such technologies with Spring. Sample code and hands-on exercises are included. If you are not familiar with these technologies, still you will be able to understand how Spring is used with them.
  3. The latest stable version of the Spring Framework will always be used.
  4. GlassFish and JBoss application servers will be used with the exercises that require an underlying application server.
