Day 2. Understanding J2EE Concepts

In the first day's session, you received an introduction to the new features available in WebLogic Server. After this you got an idea of how the book is organized and the structure of the sessions that you will be studying over the next few weeks.

Before you proceed with the study of WebLogic Server, you need to be familiar with the technologies that make up the Java 2 Enterprise Edition. Today you'll briefly cover the technologies supported by J2EE, such as Java Servlet API, JavaServer Pages, JSP tag libraries, Java Database Connectivity API, Java Naming and Directory Interface, Enterprise JavaBeans, Java Transaction API, Java Message Service API, and the J2EE Connector Architecture. This discussion will prepare you to study over the next few days how these technologies can be used in WebLogic Server.

Finally, in today's lesson you will study the Model View Controller architecture and begin the design for your Airline Ticket Booking System, which will be based on this architecture. As this book presents each technology supported by WebLogic Server, you will build each of the parts of the Airline Ticket Booking System.
