|
| Great news for Web developers! You can install an open-source Web

| Using Java Persistence in a J2EE 1.4 Web Application
|
| This document takes you through the basics of how to add Java
|
| Persistence functionality to a J2EE 1.4 web application. Though the
|
| Java Persistence API was introduced as part of the Java EE 5 platform,
|
| it is possible to use Java Persistence in a J2EE 1.4 application. The
|
| target container needs to be running on JDK 1.5, but it does not need
|
| to be a Java EE 5 container. This means that we can use the Tomcat web
|
| server bundled with the IDE. We add support for Java Persistence
|
| functionality by adding the TopLink Essentials library to the classpath
|
| of the project or the container. The TopLink Essentials library is
|
| bundled with NetBeans IDE 5.5.

|
| A newer version of the "Sun Java System Application Verification Kit"
|
| plug-in with rich user interface is now available at NetBeans
|
| Development Update Center. This plug-in helps application developers to
|
| test their applications for correct use of Java EE APIs and portability
|
| across Java EE compatible application servers. The tool determines that
|
| an application suite follows the Java EE platform specification
|
| (including all the specifications for the technologies that are part of
|
| the platform) and that it runs on the Application Server.
