For my J2EE example application, rather than continue poorly-planned development without any knowledge whatsoever, I designed a very simple entity bean, and implemented a set of pages to modify, add, and query the backend for the entities. As this is the first "road test" for J2EE for me, more or less, I'm not really sure if what I'm doing constitutes any sort of best practices... but I've just not seen any real examples I'm happy with yet. Where do the lists come in? Well, I'm inviting review, and providing full frontend source code (backend source code can be arranged, too, it's just less important than the front end part, and slightly more proprietary as well, as some of the configuration files are app-server specific.) The url is http://cupid.suninternet.com/phonelist/fates Feel free to mangle anything there. The only thing I know of that's broken is that if you add an entry with a key that already exists, an exception will be thrown; I plan on adding an errorpage soon to handle that. This also shows the use of my form taglibrary, as well as orion's ejb tag library. The design goals were to have as few scriptlets as possible in the user interface pages. I used JSP to do what servlets would be better at (the actual update pages) because I'm lazy and didn't feel like writing an actual servlet (and deployment here is easier, as well.) Feel free to point out anything you'd like about these pages; my goal is to have something available that I can look at and say "this is the proper way of doing this" without worrying that I'm missing something critical. ----------------------------------------------------------- Joseph B.
