- stay abreast of the development of knowledge, and
- communicate their knowledge to others, including those who lack specialist knowledge in the field.

(Higher Education Act, Chapter 1, Section 8)

The student should after the course have increased his/her knowledge about:
- development of Internet-based information system based on the J2EE-platform
- JSP
- Servlets
- JDBC
- JAXP
- JavaBeans

The student should after the course with increased independence be able to:
- develop information system based on the J2EE-platform
- implement data exchange between web applications using XML
- analyze and design Internet-based information system architectures

The student should after the course have increased ability to:
- apply JSP, Servlets, JDBC, JAXP, and JavaBeans in systems development projects

Component based web applications are developed during the course, based on the object oriented perspective.

All web applications are developed using Jave and are executed using the Tomcat application server. The course focuses on the following J2EE parts: JSP, Servlets, JDBC, JAXP and JavaBeans.

Differences between Internet based and traditional application architectures are discussed during the course. Architectures are discussed on different levels, both with an internal and external focus. With internal focus means how different web application components are structured and related to each other. The external focus means how different web applications communicate and exchange data with each other. Data exchange between web application is carried out using XML.

Teaching is in the form of lectures, seminars and project tasks.

Students who have previously completed higher education or other activities are, in accordance with the Higher Education Ordinance, entitled to have these credited towards the current programme, providing that the previous studies or activities meet certain criteria.

For further information, see the university's local credit transfer regulations (in Swedish).

Grades:
Grades used on course are Fail (U), Pass (G) or Pass with Distinction (VG). Grades used for the project work are Fail (U) or Pass (G) and for the written examination Fail (U), Pass (G) or Pass with Distinction (VG).

In order to receive Pass (G) on the course both the written exam and the project work has to be Passed (G). In order to receive Pass with Distinction (VG) the written exam has to be Passed with Distinction (VG) and the project work has to be Passed (G).

Remaining tasks should be completed as soon as possible acording to the teachers instructions.
