Understanding Java/J2EE Integration in CFMX, For Those With No Java Experience (One Day Seminar)

ColdFusion MX is CF running atop the Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) platform. Are you ready to take full advantage of that integration? You certainly don't NEED to learn about Java to use CFMX. But it's certainly easier to integrate and leverage Java than before, and there are some powerful new aspects of CFMX that are based on the underlying J2EE platform. For some, you do need to know more about the underlying J2EE platform. But you don't always need to know Java!

In this seminar, you'll learn how to get started in leveraging Java and the J2EE platform from a CF developer's perspective. You'll discover just what you do need to learn to go from here.

The class won't focus on programming servlets, teaching JSP tags, or the Java language. But you will learn how you can leverage those things without knowing Java in CFMX. The seminar can, however, serve as a preface to an introductory JSP/Servlet class or can stand alone as an overview of Java and J2EE for both experienced CF developers and technical managers.

The focus will be Macromedia's JRun (a respected and easy-to-use J2EE compliant application server) as the platform, which is bundled with CFMX unless you choose to integrate it with IBM WebSphere or BEA WebLogic instead. Most aspects of the talk will translate to any of these platforms.
