Improved application development: Part 4, Building a Web client

Nathaniel T. Schutta, Software developer, Studio B
Nathaniel T. Schutta, a Studio B author, is a software developer with extensive experience in the financial services industry, primarily developing Java-based Web applications. A self-proclaimed JUnit evangelist, he has contributed to two corporate Java frameworks, led several study groups, served as a mentor, and developed training materials. A Sun Certified Web Component Developer for the Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition 1.4, Nathaniel's primary focus is on developing usable, intuitive user interfaces.

Summary:  In this tutorial, you return to the trusty Auction application and add a Web client. Taking advantage of powerful features in IBM Rational Application Developer, you develop a session bean facade without writing a single line of code. Once your session beans are in place, you'll use Rational Application Developer's intuitive Web designer to create pages that access your session beans, taking advantage of JavaServer Faces technology.

Summary

In this tutorial, you've extended your Auction application. You added a session facade with a few clicks of your mouse, and you also created an Auction service. You accessed these features with a simple Web application that demonstrated many of the powerful design features that are part of Rational Application Developer. With little coding on your part, you accessed the entity beans created in Part 2. However, you've only scratched the surface of what Rational Application Developer can do.

In the fifth and final part of this series, you'll learn about the role of software testing in the application development lifecycle. Taking the now-familiar Web Auction application, Part 5 looks at functional testing with the Rational Software Development Platform, using IBM® Rational® PurifyPlus™ to examine performance and memory usage, and takes a brief look at IBM® Rational®TestManager, an automated environment for testing across multiple platforms.
