Java EE with JBoss Training Overview

This training course teaches attendees the fundamentals of Java™ EE technologies such as JSP, Servlets, JNDI, Hibernate^®, session EJBs, message-driven beans, Java Mail, Java security, and Java web services. Important note: Many of these topics, such as servlets/JSP and EJB, could easily be a week of training themselves. This course is intended as an effective, hands-on overview of these technologies, but more depth may be desired.
