Summary:  This tutorial shows how to use IBM Rational Web Developer for WebSphere Software 6.0 to quickly build a Web auction client that interacts with a database and a set of auction site Web services. You will write minimal amounts of code and instead use Faces Components and SDOs to visually construct your Web pages.

About this tutorial

IBM® Rational® Web Developer for WebSphere® Software 6.0 provides an extensive set of tools designed to quickly build dynamic Web solutions. Rational Web Developer is built on the Eclipse technology, but includes significant productivity enhancements such as enhanced data definition support and rapid application development client tools including JavaServer Faces (JSF) and Service Data Objects (SDO) support.

In this tutorial, you will use Web Developer to build a Web auction client that interacts with a local database and a set of auction site Web services. Your finished Web site will allow you to view your local warehouse stock, view all of your active auction listings, create new auction listings from warehouse stock items, and query the auction site.

You will use the Data perspective to create and deploy an IBM DB2® Universal Database® Express V8.2 database definition. You will use Page Designer and Faces components based on the JSF technology to build Web pages that dynamically access the database and Web services. Using Faces components, you can quickly build dynamic Web pages by dragging user interface components onto your Web page. You can then connect the user interface components to Service Data Objects that represent your data source (such as a database or Web service).

This tutorial is written for developers with minimal Java experience who need to build dynamic Web solutions quickly. Previous experience with visual editors will help you complete the tasks described.

If you are interested in building a similar application, but want to take advantage of Eclipse Web Tools and Java technology, the tutorial Build a Java auction client: Using the Java Visual Editor in Rational Web Developer 6.0 demonstrates how to build a Java® auction client using Rational Web Developer.
