| Java EE Persistence in a Web Project
|
| This document takes you through the basics of developing a Java web
|
| application with stand-alone persistence using Java EE 5 technology.
|
| This document uses the NetBeans 5.5 Preview Release, which is bundled
|
| with the Beta release of the Sun Java System Application Server 9.0,
|
| Platform Edition.

|
|
| Java EE and J2EE 1.4 Compared
|
| This document takes the same sample J2EE application that is created in
|
| the NetBeans 4.1/J2EE 1.4 Quick Start Guide and creates it with the
|
| NetBeans 5.5 Preview with Java EE 5 technology. You will see that
|
| hooking up a web application to a database on the server is much
|
| simpler using Java EE 5 persistence.

| UML Modeling: Developing Applications
|
| In this walk through, you learn how to use the UML modeling features of
|
| the NetBeans integrated development environment (IDE) to create a
|
| simple UML class diagram. You then use round trip engineering to
|
| develop a simple banking application, which you can test by executing a
|
| test class.

| Coming Attractions - Visual Design Tools for Creating Web Applications
|
| Those attending NetBeans Day at Java One this year had a sneak preview
|
| of an exciting new feature running on the beta release of NetBeans 5.5.
|
| Sandip Chitale showed how one can quickly develop web applications
|
| using Java Server Faces components through a powerful drag-and-drop
|
| user interface and easily integrate with heterogeneous data sources
|
| such as relational databases and web services. Those who use Java
|
| Studio Creator already appreciate the power of these visual editors.
|
| Soon, these features will be available to NetBeans users as well. Take
|
| an online tour of this coming attraction.
