No, the class I taught at DCTC and now in-house was for the beginning
student.  For my master's project at Univ of St. Thomas, I created what
was to become CSIS546 which is/was Distributed System Development. 
However, this class covered stuff like EJB, CORBA, DCOM and distributed
system development in general.  I don't know of any school (the UofM
class was a surprise) that covers more than the basics.  Stuff like
JDBC, Servlets, Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB), Java Server Pages (JSP), etc
are usually the domain of the 1-week/$2000 training vendor courses.
