WWW7 Tutorial - JavaBeans for the Web

Pratik R. Patel

JavaBeans is the component architecture for Java. It represents
the migration of Java as a library based language to one that
offers Component Based Developement (CBD). In this tutorial, we
will discuss the new Java event model, the JavaBeans architecture,
Java database programming, and more. Producing Beans for use
on the Web, and using Beans as server side extensions will also
be discussed. The purpose of this tutorial is to expose the
attendee to the new component model so that the advantages
of CBD are realized and to show how CBD is a truly modular
way to design a Web application. Reusability, robustness and
platform independence are the advantages of JavaBeans, and the
attendee will learn the necessary concepts of the technology
to full utilize these advantages.

The following table links to all of the slides for the tutorial
(Please note they still need some final review)

The new Java event model Java AWT 1.1, event programming
JavaBeans JavaBeans: Developing your own Beans, BeanInfo, Introspection, IDE intregration,
Custom event handling
Introduction to JDBC JDBC & JDBC drivers
JDBC Primer Making Java programs data-aware
JDBC & Middleware JDBC & Middleware

We'll talk about these topics and take "coding breaks" where
the attendees will be able to write some code. This will give the
attendees some hands on experience and raise issues that will aid
in the understanding of the subject matter.

Attendees will be asked to bring a laptop with the latest Sun JDK
installed for the coding sessions. However, this is not required, as we
will be performing these exercises in groups.
