The scoop on WebSphere Studio WebSphere Studio is one of the key components in IBM's WebSphere Development Studio for iSeries tool suite (program 5722-WDS). WebSphere Studio has a variety of tools for building and maintaining Web site resources: Page Designer for Web pages and JSPs, Applet Designer for Java applets, WebArt Designer for static image files and the Animated Gif Designer for animated gifs. Studio also has a set of key wizards that can jump-start your Web development even if you're not an expert at SQL, Java, HTML, etc.: the SQL wizard, the database wizard and the Java bean wizard. http://search400.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci756906,00.html 2. Seven steps to a Java Web database application It would be great if iSeries programmers knew how to use Java to create e-business applications, but programmers can still forge ahead if they aren't trained in Java yet. WebSphere tools make it easy, and Jim Mason and Dave Slater show you just how easy it can be. http://search400.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci820383,00.html 3. Field alignment problem with WebFace application One user writes, "I have converted a green screen to a WebFacing app and have noticed a field alignment problem with the output only fields from the screen. In the green-screen environment, this screen has three columns of various output only fields (alpha, numeric with decimals and date fields). The green-screen output has all of the fields nicely aligned to the right of each column. The WebFace version of this screen does not align these fields like they are aligned in the green-screen version." Web development expert Jim Mason gives some advice. http://search400.discussions.techtarget.com/WebX?[EMAIL PROTECTED]^[email protected]/396 4. WebSphere to the max With the release of ASF Tomcat and the withdrawal of WebSphere Standard Edition, many users may wonder why they should purchase WebSphere Single Server or Advanced Edition of the iSeries.
