RESTful Services, Part 5 of 5: The Server and Client

Course description

In this course you will build a client server application from scratch using the Eclipse IDE and Apache Tomcat Server. You’ll see how you can create resources, how to configure CRUD requests, and how you can access those resources from a client application.

Each LearnNowOnline training course is made up of Modules (typically an hour in length). Within each module there are Topics (typically 15-30 minutes each) and Subtopics (typically 2-5 minutes each). There is a Post Exam for each Module that must be passed with a score of 70% or higher to successfully and fully complete the course.

Prerequisites

This course assumes that the users have experience coding with Java and RESTful Services. You should have already viewed the “RESTful Services: Overview and JAX-RS”, “RESTful Services: Injection and Sub Resources”, “RESTful Services: Response, Form and Exceptions” and “RESTful Services: Install, JAX-RS and Jersey” courses before viewing this course if you are not familiar with RESTful Services.
