Module Details
Module Indicative Content
Common architectures of enterprise applications: two-tier, three-tier, multi-tier
Rich clients and browser-based clients
Component-based enterprise applications - e.g. as exhibited by Java Enterprise Edition (JEE)
Scalability, maintainability, reliability, availability, extensibility, performance, manageability, and security of enterprise applications
Integration of messaging in enterprise applications - e.g. web services and XML, HTTP and Java Messaging Service (JMS)
Web-tier technology - e.g. Java servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSP)
Business-tier technology - e.g. Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB 3.0) model - entity classes, session beans, message-driven beans
Persistence technology - e.g. JEE container-managed persistence, Java Persistence API (JPA), container-managed transactions, bean-managed transactions
Architecture patterns for enterprise applications
Web-centric and EJB-centric enterprise applications

Module Learning Strategies
Normally one lecture and one practical session per week. (1:n)1 (1:20)1 In addition to these 26 hours of class, each student will be expected to engage in a further 124 hours of independent learning, to reinforce and extend the learning that takes place in the formal classes. Independent learning activities include but are not limited to completing the practical work, preparing and undertaking assessment, reading books and academic papers.
