Appropriate for all courses in Java development using Sun's Java Studio Creator integrated development environment. Suns Java Studio Creator (formerly Project Rave) offers students a remarkably productive visual environment for building, integrating, and delivering business-critical applications. Direct from Sun, Java Studio Creator Field Guide is the definitive guide to Java Studio Creator. Leading Java instructors and consultants Gail and Paul Anderson show students how to use Java Studio Creator to simplify and accelerate the entire development process while building applications that offer superior consistency and usability. One step at a time, the Andersons introduce Java Studio Creators interface and workflow; then show how to simplify Web development with JSF components, validators, and data converters. Using detailed examples, the Andersons demonstrate how to control Web application page flow with the Page Navigation editor, build Creator projects with JavaBean components, and use databases, data-aware components and JDBC RowSets to provide highly efficient database access. The book includes detailed coverage of accessing Web services using XML-based open standards, including a complete case study using Google Web Service APIs. Coverage also includes localization, internationalization, and debugging.
