CHAPTER 1 About the Tutorials

Novell^® exteNd^TM Workbench provides tutorials to help you get started with Workbench projects and different types of J2EE applications.

Availability of the tutorials

Novell exteNd Workbench includes two tutorials:

Working with Web Services

Illustrates how to create a Workbench project for a Web Service and use the Web Service Wizard to generate the Java and XML for the Web Service. It also describes how to create a J2EE WAR client application for the Web Service and demonstrates the Registry Manager and WSDL Editor.
Developing a Web Application

Illustrates how to create a Workbench project for a WAR and how to use the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture to process user actions, data, and forms.

This tutorial has two parts:
- Part I shows you how to use Workbench to develop the sample Web application and how the MVC architecture is used in a Struts application.
- Part II teaches you how to write code in a Struts Web application that accesses data via the J2EE application server's connection pool and how to define forms that display the data.

Software requirements

Novell exteNd Workbench To develop the tutorial applications, you need Novell exteNd Workbench. If you don't have it already, you can get the Workbench software at the Workbench Web site.

A J2EE application server and a DBMS To run the tutorial applications, you need a J2EE application server for deploying the application archives. Some tutorials also need a DBMS for data storage.

If you already have a J2EE application server, you can deploy the standards-based J2EE WARs to that server using either the Workbench deployment features or your server's deployment tools.

For more information on deploying during the tutorials, see Workbench Deployment Instructions.
If you don't have the required J2EE server and/or DBMS, you can download the trial version of the Novell exteNd Application Server (which includes the IBM Cloudscape DBMS) from the download Web site or the Workbench Web site mentioned above. For the tutorials, all you need is the Lite Edition (J2EE server and Cloudscape).
