==================================

J2EE and Java & XML Hands-on Jump Start Code Camp
=================================================

Abstract:
This Code Camp will show experienced Java[tm] technology developers 
how to develop applications using Enterprise Java Beans EJB[tm],
the Java APIs and Architectures for XML and deploy using the 
JavaTM 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE).
This code camp is designed as a quick jump start to J2EE and 
Java & XML Technologies where the source code and completed 
solutions are provided for the programmers to learn these
technologies quickly.

Table of Contents:
    Session 1 : EJB and J2EE
	- Creating an Entity Bean and Session Bean
	  Here we will use Bean Managed Persistence and Container Managed 
	  Persistence to develop Entity Beans.
	- Creating a Web ARchive (WAR) 
	- Assembling and Deploying using deploytool and J2EE 1.3 RI.
	- Demo of Forte to develop and deploy EJBs

    Session 2 : Java & XML
	- XML Parsing using SAX and DOM
	- Processing XML using Java Architecture for XML Binding
	- Creating, Assembling and depolying an XML-RPC service
	  and then creating client code to use this service.

Prerequisites:
	- Minimum of 2 years of Java Programming
	- Recommended an understanding of JDBC, RMI, Servlets, EJBs,
	  J2EE and Java APIs for XML.

Software Requirement:
	The following software is required to do the hands-on lab exercises.
	All the software will be provided on Day 1 for the hands-on code camp
	attendees so that the following S/W can be installed before coming
	to the class on Day 2 of the TechDays.
