One of the easiest wizards to use is the Web database pages wizard. It generates a simple Web database application that allows custom search, select and view using your own custom SQL statement. You can also use the IBM DBBeans.jar file directly in your own applications productively. It's easier than building your own database components and easier than using JDBC directly. This week Web development expert Jim Mason provides an example that uses the IBM DB Beans to print a simple report to the System console. >> CLICK here to view the complete tip: http://www.search400.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci870653,00.html =============================================================== Answers to Other Technical Questions =============================================================== Start right with the new WDSC workbench Web development experts Jim Mason and David Slater say WebSphere Development Studio Client (WDSC) for iSeries Eclipse workbench -- with its easy-to-use wizards and full support for Java, J2EE, XML and Web services -- builds integrated, iSeries e-business applications and data for the Web easier, faster, cheaper and better than any other tool they've seen.
