Chapter 10. Introduction to Java EE Development in NetBeans IDE
THE JAVA PLATFORM, ENTERPRISE EDITION (JAVA EE) DEFINES the standard for developing multi-tier enterprise applications. The Java EE platform simplifies enterprise applications by basing them on standardized, modular components; by providing a complete set of services to those components; and by handling many details of application behavior automatically, without complex programming. The Java EE platform is targeted for developers who want to write distributed transactional applications for the enterprise and leverage the speed, security, and reliability of server-side technology. NetBeans IDE has comprehensive support for the Java EE developer. There are advanced wizards to create entire Java EE applications and individual components, such as web applications, servlets, JavaServer Faces applications, Enterprise JavaBeans modules (EJB modules), and Enterprise JavaBeans components (enterprise beans), and web services. In addition, the IDE provides a complete runtime environment based on the Sun Java System Application Server. NetBeans IDE 5.0 supports versions 8.1 and 8.2 of this application server, which provide the reference implementation of the J2EE 1.4 SDK. This application server, which is available separately or as part of a technology bundle with NetBeans IDE, is a J2EE 1.4-compliant application server that is free for development, deployment, and redistribution. It offers the ideal companion to the IDE for all the developers who need an integrated environment in which complete Java EE applications can be developed, built, assembled, deployed, and debugged. NetBeans IDE 5.0 also provides out-of-the-box support for BEA WebLogic Application Server 9.0 and JBoss Application Server 4.0.3. In NetBeans IDE 5.0, the support is targeted mainly toward the J2EE 1.4 SDK. In subsequent NetBeans IDE releases, support will be added for Java EE 5 SDK. |
