Course Description:
Advanced
Java programming concepts and tools for electronic commerce and enterprise
applications. Servlets, Java
server pages, and XML for web server systems. Enterprise JavaBeans for session
and entity management. Client side applets, JDBC database manipulation,
security, and other advanced topics.
Prerequisites:
CSIS 3701: Advanced
Object-Oriented Programming. It is assumed that you are very familiar with
Java syntax and visual classes, as well as concepts related to object-oriented
programming (classes, encapsulation, static properties, inheritance,
polymorphism, exception handling, interfaces, and event handling), and that you
can design and implement reasonably large programs as part of a team involving
those concepts.
Textbook:
Java for the Web with Servlets,
JSP, and EJB. Budi Kurniawan, New Riders Press.
The Java Sun web site also has a number of tutorials that you might also find
useful, some of which go beyond what is covered in the textbook. These include:
· http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/tutorial/doc/index.html (Java Enterprise Edition, version 1.4)
· http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jdbc/index.html (JDBC)
· http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/i18n/index.html (Internationalization)
· http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/rmi/index.html (Remote Method Invocation)

Assignments:
Programming assignments will introduce
you to basic server-side programming concepts, including servlets and server
pages, session management, database manipulation, and client-side applets.
The final project will involve developing an e-commerce site in programming
teams of 3 or 4. The site will exercise the server, client, and database
programming covered by the assignments, as well as advanced concepts such as
security and enterprise design. Free time during class will occasionally be
given near the end of the term for groups to meet.
Software:
In order to implement the
assignments and the project, you will need to download and install the Tomcat
server on your computer (if this is a problem, please see me to make other
arrangements). Instructions are in Appendix A of the textbook – this is
something that you should do as soon as possible. We will also be working with
a database program at some point (either Access or MySql) so I may have you
install a database driver as well.
