Quick Successes

V6 Focusing on Ease of Learning – Roadmap


19

V6 Focusing on Ease of Learning – Tutorial Gallery

Watch and Learn : Learn how to perform certain tasks by playing these short video recordings.

Play and Learn : Learn by watching viewlets. These viewlets guide you through a simulation of tasks without interacting with the product resources.

Do and Learn : Learn by going through the hands-on tutorial where you can work with the product and develop applications.


20

V6 Focusing on Ease of Learning – Samples Gallery

Showcase Samples : Complete solution which you can deploy and run which demonstrates the best practices for application development.

Application Samples : Working applications which shows the usage of different tools and their interactions with the product and may require configuration to run on your system.

Technology Samples : Code-centric samples that focus on a single tool or API in the product. Ideal for leveraging technology specific code snippets.


21

V6 Page Designer – New Look, JSF/SDO Enhancements

Construct pages by dragging and dropping rich web components from a customizable Palette


The Quick Edit View allows scripting of client or server side events in Java or Java Script.

Code assist writes the code for you!

Page templates separate out common page elements in a single template file

Simplified Navigator hides the complexity of J2EE

The Data View lets you configure and drag and drop data to automatically create a data bound UI

WDO accesses and updates data without writing any code!

Property views allow easy customization of the selected component

Rapid UI Creation

Simple Data Access with WDO/SDO

Instant binding of UI to Data

Quick Server-side event scripting (with Java Server Faces)

Web Application Development is Drag and Drop Simple!


22

V6 Web Services Tools – Improvements

J2EE 1.4 (Web services are part of J2EE standard)

Usability improvements in Web services wizards and WSDL editorFocus on authoring of WS-I compliant Web servicesNew WSDL wizard to create basic WSDL files that comply to WS-I rules

25

Changes in Server Support in RAD v6

Existing support still in RAD v6.0 WAS J2EE extensions available in the deployment descriptor

WAS v5.0/v5.1/V6.0 support

No longer in v6.0:

All WAS v4.0 support removed

Can still build J2EE 1.2 applications, export, and deploy manually

Supported Servers in RAD v6.0 WebSphere (Express, Base) Application Server v5.0, v5.1 Test

Environments and remote server

WebSphere (Express, Base, & ND) Application Server v6.0 Test Environment & server

WebSphere Portal v5.0, v5.1

Apache Tomcat v3.2, v4.0, v4.1, v5.0

HTTP servers


26

RAD support of WebSphere v6

Don’t keep server configuration within the workspace Use server’s admin console to do all configuration

Applications are published using WebSphere Rapid Deploy

All communication with the server is done via JMX Local and remote servers work identically from within the tools

V6 server stays running at all times Never need to restart server unless switching between Run/Debug/Profiling

modes

No RAC or additional installation required for remote support – works with any WAS v6 server, any location

Test Environment is an exact WebSphere server

Works on all platforms


27

RAD support of WebSphere v6

Usage model changes/enhanced

Every EAR you deploy remains deployed in server unless you uninstall it from server

Use WAS 6 server profiles if you need different server configurations Use WAS profile creation

tool to create new profile

Associate new profilewith RAD server


28

V6 “WebSphere Rapid Deploy” (WRD) To simplify the development experience for WebSphere applications by:

Increase the seamlessness of the iterative Build/Test cycle

Reduce or eliminate server restarts

During initial artifact creation (i.e. create Java, EJBs, Web Services, etc.)

During iterative build scenarios (i.e. coding the logic in Java, etc.)

To simplify the deployment experience for WebSphere applications by:

Automating the process of installing an application on WebSphere

Reducing the amount of information that must be configured manually on WAS (i.e. Datasources, etc.)

Automating the process of activating incremental changes to an application on a running server (i.e. Add/Change code/configuration of an application)



Dynamic Development (Avoiding the “RESTART” Situations)
