Students will learn how to develop Web
Services with WebLogic™ and use standards
such as SOAP, WSDL and JAX-RPC. This
course covers the basics of XML and includes
all the features and techniques needed to
program Web Services.
WebLogic Training Prerequisites :
: Familiarity with the Java
language, JavaBeans, and web application
architecture and concepts. Experience with
WebLogic Platform helpful. Successful
completion of course CTI 186, “Enterprise
Java Programming Using WebLogic
Platform,” satisfies these requirements.
WebLogic Training Minimum software requirements:
Microsoft
Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 or later.
BEA WebLogic Platform 8.1. J2SE 1.4.1 SDK
and J2EE 1.4 beta SDK. Java-compatible
browser.
WebLogic Training Minimum hardware requirements:
Pentium at
500 mHz; minimum of 256 Mb RAM; 500 Mb
free disk space; Internet connection.
Microsoft PowerPoint On instructor’s workstation for presentation purposes.
WebLogic Training Course duration:
