So far, this series has covered the basics of storing and retrieving data in Apache Derby using SQL. This tutorial shows you how to use this knowledge in a straightforward way. In the previous tutorial, you developed a framework that allows you to store and manage Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) compliance documents. Now you'll learn how to enter and report the information.

Objectives

  • Learn the basics of OpenOffice.org Forms and Reports, part of OpenOffice.org Base.

  • Get familiar with best practices surrounding data entry, transaction management, and auditing while you walk through the process of building a portion of a SOX tracking application.

Prerequisites

You should be reasonably comfortable with standard Java tools, have a smattering of SQL experience, and know the basics of XML. The ability to install and configure a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), Apache Ant or Eclipse, and Derby is required.


System requirements

To run the examples in this tutorial, you need the following:

  • JVM 1.5 or later
  • Approximately 100-200MB of free space, depending on your choice of tool set
  • At least 64MB of RAM for your virtual machine (VM)
  • Eclipse 3.2.1
  • Derby plug-ins for Eclipse
  • OpenOffice.org 2.0
