| <h2><a href="http://services.netbeans.org/newsletter/story.php?id=4263">Getting Started with Java EE 6 Applications</a></h2> |
| <p style="margin-left:8px;"> |
| Let the NetBeans IDE get you started with the new features of the Java EE 6 specification: In this tutorial you will create a simple Java EE 6 web application that contains an EJB 3.1 stateless session bean. The generated session bean uses queries that are defined in the Criteria API that is part of JPA 2.0. You will then create a named managed bean that accesses the session facade and a presentation layer that uses the Facelets view framework as specified in JSF 2.0.</p> |
