Before You Begin |
Welcome to the Sun ONE Studio 5 J2EE application tutorial. This tutorial shows you how to use the following features of the Sun ONE Studio 5 integrated development environment (IDE):
See the release notes for a list of environments in which you can create the example in this book. The release notes are available on this web page:

Screen shots vary slightly from one platform to another. Although almost all procedures use the interface of the Sun ONE Studio 5 software, occasionally you might be instructed to enter a command at the command line. Here too, there are slight differences from one platform to another. For example, a Microsoft Windows command might look like this:
c:>cd MyWorkDir\MyPackage |
A UNIX command might look like this:
% cd MyWorkDir/MyPackage |
This tutorial creates an application that conforms to the architecture documented in Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) Blueprints. If you want to learn how to use the features of Sun ONE Studio 5, Standard Edition to create, develop, and deploy a J2EE compliant application, you will benefit from working through this tutorial.

This manual is designed to be read from beginning to end. Each chapter in the tutorial builds upon the code developed in earlier chapters.
Chapter 1 lists the software requirements for the DiningGuide tutorial, explains how to start the Sun ONE Studio 5 IDE and the Sun ONE Application Server, how to get the IDE and the application server to recognize each other and both communicating with an Oracle database, how to create the tutorial database tables, and then create a database schema in the IDE based on those tables.
Chapter 2 describes the functionality and architecture of the tutorial application.
Chapter 3 provides step-by-step instructions for creating the EJB tier of the tutorial application, and how use the IDE's test application facility to test each bean.
Chapter 4 describes how to use the IDE to generate the tutorial's web service from its EJB tier, and how to test the web service.
Chapter 5 explains how a provided Swing client accesses the output generated from the Web Services module in Chapter 4, and how to run the tutorial application.
Appendix A provides complete source files for the tutorial application.
Appendix B provides the database script for the tutorial application.
Appendix C describes how to adapt the tutorial to create and run the application using an Oracle database.
