XSLT Solution for Java EE Applications

Mon, 20 Nov 2006 11:45:00 EST

Applying XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language for Transformations) to XML documents can be done using the Java EE (formerly J2EE) Servlet filters model and Java Server Pages (JSP) technology. Servlet filters can be invoked before or after the invocation of a particular servlet or JSP, based on the incoming URL mapping, which could be specified as the central controller servlet in a framework such as Struts or a custom-developed one. The basic logical model is shown in Figure 1.

Developing Web Services with Eclipse and WTP

This session is a live demo of development of the Web Services using Eclipse and Web Tools Project (WTP).

Java Feature — Bringing Together Eclipse,WTP, Struts, and Hibernate

Wed, 10 May 2006 13:30:00 EDT

In the article 'Creating Web Applications with the Eclipse WTP' (http://jdj.sys-con.com/read/152270.htm ), we created a Web application using Eclipse Web Tools Project, the Tomcat application server, and the MySQL database server. That application (DBTest) was good, however, it had some limitations

Developing Web Services "Eclipse Web Tools Project"

Mon, 27 Feb 2006 11:45:00 EST

Today's trend is to integrate existing systems in a standard way to make disparate implementations interoperate. Web Services and XML came along with the ability to provide a standard communication interface between these systems, as well as the standard description language - WSDL - the Web Services Description Language that lets those systems define the structure of the services they're providing.

How to Bring Eclipse 3.1, J2SE 5.0, and Tomcat 5.0 Together

Sat, 07 Jan 2006 13:15:00 EST

We'll build a servlet that will demo some new Java 5.0 features and do some basic tasks like creating a session to track user visits to multiple Web pages. This code can easily be extended to store a user ID in the session that will travel with her as the site is navigated. The value of the visit counter is stored in the session so multiple visits to the page will be counted (this includes the page refreshes after pressing the browser's 'Reload' button). If the counter goes over five, the counter gets cleared.

Creating Web Applications with the Eclipse Web Tools Project

Tue, 22 Nov 2005 13:00:00 EST

The Web Tools Project (WTP) by the Eclipse Foundation is a set of open source tools that substantially reduce the time required for the development of Web applications, EJBs, and Web services. The WTP's current version is 0.7.1 and version 1.0 is coming later this year. The framework provides wizards and tools to create EJBs, Web components such as servlets and JSPs, and Web services using the Axis engine. It also provides source editors for HTML, JavaScript, CSS, JSP, SQL, XML, DTD, XSD, and WSDL; graphical editors for XSD, WSDL, J2EE project builders, models, and a J2EE navigator; a Web service wizard, explorer, and WS-I Test Tools; and database access, query tools, and models.
