“Distributed Java” is focused on Java programming for the World Wide Web and other types of distributed computing environments. It is a fourth semester course in the Web & Software Developer associate degree program, and it is the third of four courses in the Java Technical Certificate program, which is open to both non-degree and degree students.The course covers the N-tier, Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectures of distributed applications and examines three technology stacks in use today for developing web applications. For legacy applications JSPs, Servlets and JDBC are examined. For modern, component-based applications JavaServer Faces, EJBs and JMS are examined. Another modern approach examined is RESTful Web Services. On the client-side technologies such as HTML5, XHTML, JavaScript and Cascading Stylesheets and RESTful web services are examined. Open-source tools such as the popular Spring Framework and Hibernate are used. The course focuses on the technology stack offered by JEE v7 and deployment and administration of Glassfish 4.1 and Tomcat 7/8 application servers.
