In the "JavaTM Studio Creator Field Guide," authors Paul Anderson and
Gail Anderson take a look at the next generation tool, formerly known
as Project Rave, for JavaTM technology application development. The book
aims to allow readers to spend less time on "plumbing," and more time
on tasks of higher value.
The 368-page book includes a foreword by James Gosling and looks in
detail at the Sun JavaTM Studio Creator. The solution provides a
visual environment for constructing, integrating and delivering
business-critical applications. The guide is designed to simplify and
accelerate the reader's complete development process.
The book takes a close look at:
- Mastering the Sun Java Studio Creator's interface and workflow
- Simplifying Web development with JavaServerTM Faces components,
validators and data converters
- Controlling Web application page flow with the Page Navigation editor
- Building Creator projects with JavaBeansTM components
- Accessing Web Services using XML-based open standards: a case study
using Google Web Service APIs
- Using databases and data-aware components -- including detailed
coverage of new JavaTM DataBase Connectivity (JDBCTM) RowSets
- Customizing applications: localization, internationalization and
custom validation
- Debugging with Creator's built-in debugger
The solution offers features such as visual interface design with drag
and drop access to databases and Web Services, which help to deliver
high productivity.
