javapassion.com is the home of many free courses for anyone who wants to enhance their Java skills. Sang Shin, the man behind all this, does an amazing job at revamping the content on a very regular basis (probably the best way for him to stay current!). The last set of updates are for Metro Web Services - JAX-WS, WSIT, ... If you're wondering what taking such a class is like, check out the FAQ. |
Among the many topics covered for this class called Web Services Programming (with Passion!), I'd recommend the following : JAX-WS Features on GlassFish, WS-I, and WSIT. You may also be interested in taking the Java EE Programming (with Passion!) class (EJB3, JPA, JSF, Facelets, Spring, Hibernate, etc.)

The Sun Training catalog has updated it Java EE training material with new offerings:
• Developing Applications for the Java EE Platform
(FJ-310)
|
|
There are many reasons why Sun is supporting Open Source community projects like GlassFish, including System Sales and rapid Java EE 5 Platform Adoption, but plain Revenue is also important. Revenue comes from multiple sources including training and support, and Tim just wrote a blog explaining his inside view on Sun's commercial support of our distribution of GlassFish: SJS AS 9.0. |
The support plans for SJS AS 9.x from Sun are being updated as I type, but a good start is this page on Sun's overall Software Service Plans and the move focused Developers Services Page. Or feel free to contact me or other Sun engineers and we will direct you to the right place.

Remember that training class you Helped Fine-Tune?, the real thing is now available as a 2-day, 6-module, Java EE 5 in-depth Web-based course. The list of courses and presenters is very complete: Overview (Bill), EJB 3 (Linda and Ken), JavaPersistence (Linda), Web Services (Roberto, Rajiv, and Dhiru), Web Tier (Ed and Jan) and Java Blueprints (Inderjeet and Greg). |
Full content of the Sun's catalog is here. The Training Options are: Classroom, Live via the Web, Recorded, via the Web, CD-ROM, and Team Training. Classroom training requires on-site instructors and this is a global operation, so, if you are interested, check the Instructor Certification Process.

Kito Mann, author of "JavaServer Faces in Action" has developed a training course called "JSF in Action: JavaServer Faces (JSF) with Struts, Shale and Facelets". If you're in the UK and take the course let us know what you think.
Ed Burns who is working on a new book JavaServer Faces: The Complete Reference, has posted a couple of useful blogs. One that he posted a while ago Repost: Bringing Ruby on Rails's Flash to JSF. His other post, Repost: Using JAAS with JSF shows how JAAS can be used to provide authentication for JSF web applications.
