Transaction Management in Java Enterprise Edition Applications

Description:

Transactions allow your data to retain integrity and consistency when multiple programs access and modify data simultaneously, operations on data fail with partial completion, or even after some cases of system failure.

Designing non-trivial transactional systems require careful consideration to transaction model and strategies. They define the degree of parallelism that you can achieve in an application along with throughput. Row, table, or database locking, duration of transactions (short, medium, long running), distributed data stores and application data caching mechanisms all define the best transactional model and strategies to be used.

This training takes you through a serious look at transaction management in Java Enterprise Edition applications.

Target Groups:

  1. Java Enterprise Edition application developers (software engineers, designers, software architects)

Prerequisites:

  1. You should be familiar with Java EE application development. This training is not for those who do not have clues about transaction management.
  2. Frameworks like Spring, JPA, Hibernate will also be referenced during this training. Having some understanding about them is advantageous.

Communication Language:

English

Duration:

5 hours (Delivered with hands-on lab exercises).
