Java™ Open Source Framework Courseware

The efficiency of application development can be greatly enhanced through the adoption of a Framework, a re-usable design for a software system (or subsystem). A software framework may include support programs, code libraries, or other software to help develop and glue together the different components of a software project.

Java™-based enterprise development has been inundated by the proliferation of frameworks. Some are unique to the development of specific kinds of applications whereas others are more generic. The open-source frameworks have the advantages of being free and being supported by a very large user community providing access to solutions for many of the problems that one might encounter in developing enterprise applications. Struts, Spring®, and Hibernate® are three commonly deployed Java open-source frameworks.

The courses listed on this page are intended to provide in-depth coverage of various open source Java frameworks. If you need Java training materials that cover topics recommended by the Java Community Process, please consult one of the following categories::
