Chapter 3Creating applications with J2EE
technologies
The Developing Web Applications, Developing Applications with Enterprise
JavaBeans, and other parts of JBuilders documentation explain how to use J2EE
technologies. They describe in depth how to use JBuilder features to develop web
applications, work with XML, develop Enterprise JavaBeans, access and work with
your data using DataExpress, and create web services. Within each of these areas of
the documentation, you should find the information to understand these technologies
and work productively with them.
But todays web-based enterprise applications usually use several J2EE technologies.
How do these disparate technologies fit together in applications you and your team
might develop? Which technologies are right for which kind of applications? This
chapter intends to help you see how the pieces fit together, while highlighting the
flexibility of J2EE applications. It borrows heavily from the Introduction chapter of
Designing Enterprise Applications with the J2EE Platform by Inderjeet Singh, Beth
Stearns, Mike Johnson, and the Sun Enterprise Team. You can find the book online on
the Sun web site at
