JavaServer Pages (JSP) and servlets are the key web tier technologies defined in the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE platform). The Web Component Development With Servlet and JSP Technologies course provides experienced Java developers a way to obtain the knowledge and skills necessary to quickly build web applications from JSP and servlet technologies using the Tomcat web container and the Struts framework.

Students are exposed to the current methods for analyzing, designing, developing, and deploying web applications with Java technologies. Real-world lab exercises provide students with experience in constructing and deploying the small- to medium-scale web applications found in intranet and low-volume commercial sites.

This course also is an ideal method for preparing for the revised Sun Certified Web Component Developer (SCWCD) for J2EE 1.4 certification examination. However, an SCWCD candidate should also spend six months building real-world web applications using the JSP and servlet technologies before taking the exam.
