VisualAge for Java is the first enterprise-aware, incremental Java application development environment designed to connect Java clients to existing server data, transactions, and applications. This IBM Redbooks publication shows how Component Broker Series and WebSphere IBM products are used to create a CORBA application. A sample application is used throughout the book to illustrate how to develop a CORBA application and access it with Java clients using IIOP or with pure HTML clients with the help of servlets. After reading this book, you will have a broad understanding of the new VisualAge for Java features that facilitate implementing an enterprise application based on CORBA and servlets. You will also have a sense of the power of Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB).

This book brings together all the information and trialware readers need to get powerful results with VisualAge for Java 2.0. It is a complete tutorial and reference for writing Java applications and porting them to databases and the Web--with up-to-the-minute coverage of JFC, JavaBeans, servlets, and more.
