Significantly speed up development by taking advantage of code completion and code generation features of NetBeans
Speed up development by significantly reducing the time it takes to navigate through the code in our project
Quickly refactor Java projects without any fear of breaking the code
Understand the structure of the code by interpreting NetBeans' visual cues
Take advantage of the NetBeans debugger to be able to quickly find the cause of code defects

Developing web applications can be complex; JSF simplifies the process
Pages in most web applications contain common areas such as headers, footers, and menus, which are shown in every page. Facelets templating allows us to define these common areas in a template, and have all the pages in the application simply use the template
Access the Managed Beans’ properties from a JSF page. Access a JSF Managed Bean from another Managed Bean. Use the Managed Bean's Action methods for dynamic navigation
The Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI) API allows us to seamlessly integrate the architectural layers of our Java EE applications
Validate input using JSF standard validators
Create maintainable markup with JSF composite components
Easily create elegant web applications by leveraging PrimeFaces JSF components
Use PrimeFaces to lay out our web pages. Automatically indicate required fields with the PrimeFaces output label component
Map Java classes to database tables
Develop client code to interact with the database through the generated JPA code
Map entity relationships (one to many, many to one, one to one, and many to many) in JPA code
Quickly generate JSF applications from JPA entities with NetBeans wizards
Familiarize yourself with JPQL
Learn how to insert database data with the JPA Java API
Learn how to modify the JSF markup
JPQL Named Queries provide a standard way to declare JPQL queries, facilitating code reuse
The NetBeans JPQL editor provides a simple way of testing JPQL queries
Understand how to build queries with the JPA Criteria API
Session Beans allow application developers to focus on implementing business logic, while the application server takes care of enterprise application requirements such as scalability, transactions, and security
EJBs in general, and Session Beans in particular, automate transaction management; however, transaction behavior can be configured via the @TransactionAttribute annotation. This video describes how transactions are handled via the @TransactionAttribute annotation
This video explains how to implement Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) with EJBs via interceptors
Develop a stateless EJB by learning how to have an EJB method executed periodically, automatically, and without intervention
Java EE Development with NetBeans 7 video course provides hands-on instructions that show you how to take control of the environment and make use of these features to make your Enterprise Java application development more efficient and productive than ever before so that you can concentrate on the important parts of your application.
Java EE Development with NetBeans 7 shows you how to develop applications using the most important and latest Java EE technologies and APIs such as JavaServer Faces (JSF) 2.0, Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) 3.1, and the Java Persistence API (JPA 2.0). The course is a practical guide explaining the various features of the NetBeans IDE related to Enterprise application development.
Java EE Development with NetBeans 7 covers all the major Java EE technologies, APIs, and the rapid development capabilities of the NetBeans IDE such as wizards and keyboard shortcuts. While focusing on NetBeans features, you will learn how to develop aesthetically pleasing web-based user interfaces using Java Server Faces. You’ll also learn how to take advantage of automated transaction handling and scalability via Enterprise JavaBeans, and how to simplify database access through the Java Persistence API.
By the end of this course, you will be able to develop Enterprise applications quickly and easily by taking advantage of several time-saving features of Oracle's NetBeans IDE.
