FIT5042 Enterprise application development for the web - Semester 2, 2014

This unit provides students with an understanding of the design and development of systems that support the large enterprise in a web-based environment. Students will learn of the theoretical issues that need to be considered by the enterprise and how they can affect the development of the enterprise application. A number of techniques will be introduced as the technological means to build such an application with specific emphasis on the Java EE technology.

Your feedback to Us

Monash is committed to excellence in education and regularly seeks feedback from students, employers and staff. One of the key formal ways students have to provide feedback is through the Student Evaluation of Teaching and Units (SETU) survey. The University’s student evaluation policy requires that every unit is evaluated each year. Students are strongly encouraged to complete the surveys. The feedback is anonymous and provides the Faculty with evidence of aspects that students are satisfied and areas for improvement.

For more information on Monash’s educational strategy, see:

www.monash.edu.au/about/monash-directions/ and on student evaluations, see: www.policy.monash.edu/policy-bank/academic/education/quality/student-evaluation-policy.html

Previous Student Evaluations of this Unit

Over the years in which the unit has been running, students have reported an overall satisfaction with the content and presentation of the unit's material.

The unit's content has been updated from last semester in keeping with evolving web technologies. In particular, the materials have been extended to cover the Java EE 7 platform.

As a result of student feedback the following decisions were made:

  1. To change the assignment weighting.
  2. To focus on enterprise application design and programming skills rather than the implementation of prototype features in all practical assignments.
  3. To align the assessment requirements with students' undertanding of enterprise application design and programming concepts rather than prototype features. The alignment was done by making individual labs assessed, and this assessment based on weekly learning objectives.

Returning assignments

Assignment submission

It is a University requirement (http://www.policy.monash.edu/policy-bank/academic/education/conduct/student-academic-integrity-managing-plagiarism-collusion-procedures.html) for students to submit an assignment coversheet for each assessment item. Faculty Assignment coversheets can be found at http://www.infotech.monash.edu.au/resources/student/forms/. Please check with your Lecturer on the submission method for your assignment coversheet (e.g. attach a file to the online assignment submission, hand-in a hard copy, or use an online quiz). Please note that it is your responsibility to retain copies of your assessments.

Online submission

If Electronic Submission has been approved for your unit, please submit your work via the learning system for this unit, which you can access via links in the my.monash portal.

Required Resources

Please check with your lecturer before purchasing any Required Resources. Limited copies of prescribed texts are available for you to borrow in the library, and prescribed software is available in student labs.

You will need access to:

  • Java SE 7
  • NetBeans IDE with Java EE 7 support and Glassfish application server

This software is freely available online to download and also be available in University computer labs. Appropriate download resources will be made accessible via Moodle.

Recommended Resources

The Java EE 7 Tutorial:

This is the official Java EE 7 Tutorial from Oracle. We will use a number of chapters and and example code from the tutorial to demonstrate core concepts in the Java EE platform.

The tutorial is accessible at http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/tutorial/doc/home.htm
