1. Applications
   • Examine several sample applications.
2. XML: Extensible Markup Language
   • Acquire proficiency with the syntax and capabilities of XML.
   • Write the XML code to depict a Funds Transfer System.
   • This XML will be used in subsequent exercises.
3. DTD: Document Type Definitions
   • Understand DTD usage for Attribute Type Declarations, String Attribute Type Declarations, Attribute Default Specifications, and Enumerated Attribute Type Declarations.
   • Create a DTD for the XML document from the previous exercise.
4. Servlets
   • Become familiar with the single thread and multi thread models.
   • Code and implement a threadsafe RGB color object for selecting a color for the page background.
5. JSP: JavaServer Pages
   • Code a JSP application.
   • A palindrome is any "word" which is the same forward and backward, e.g. radar, noon, 20011002.
   • The method should return false if the argument is not a palindrome.
   • Code a JSP application which returns true if the string entered is a palindrome.
6. Custom JSP Tags
   • Code and implement a custom taglib for entering data.
   • Create a custom taglib for handling Social Security numbers and Gregorian dates.
7. Java Naming and Directory Interface
   • Utilize a Java Naming and Directory Interface.
   • Utilize several technologies including JNDI to build a bookstore sample application.
   • These sample programs are going to be built, run, and modified with JNDI using JSP pages and JSTL in native format.
8. JDBC: Java Database Connectivity
   • Appreciate the practical usage of JDBC drivers, making a connection, and running SQL against a database.
   • Utilize simple JDBC functions with a single table, including connecting to the database, creating the table, inserting rows of data to the table, and printing table columns.
9. XSL: XML Stylesheet Language
   • XSL and XSLT / XSL syntax and accessing node values.
   • XSL is a stylesheet language for documents marked up using XML: Extensible Markup Language.
   • XSLT describes how a XML source document is transformed into another XML document which uses the XSL formatting vocabulary.
   • XSLT also can be used for other general transforms.
   • Transform an XML document into an HTML document that can be viewed by a web browser.
10. DOM: Document Object Model
    • Understand how parsers are used with DOM and process child nodes.
    • Given a sample program that stores name/number pairs for a simple phone book in a text file in the user's home directory, modify that program to have it use an XML format for the data.
    • Changes will have to be made to the parts of the program that read and write the data file.
    • Use the DOM to read the data: 1- parsers / JAXP. 2- parsing with DOM. 3- trees and nodes. 4- DOM node types. 5- processing child nodes. 6- error handling.
11. SAX API
    • Acquire proficiency with parsing SAX and coding event handlers.
    • Read a complex XML document and parse it using SAX.
