This lab will offer an overview of Java EE 6 through a rundown of its key new features. Participants will build an application from scratch via incremental steps and a dozen demos and exercises, each illustrating new features of the platform.

Attendees will learn about: - Managed beans, Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) 3.1 packaging and testing - Java Persistence API (JPA) improvements - JavaServer Faces (JSF) with facelets, composite components, Ajax - RESTful resources - Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI) and more The content was initially created with Antonio Goncalves (Java EE 6 book author and EG member) and is perpetually improving at beginningee6.kenai.com.
