Java: Near to the Barking SealsJava development, J2EE, IDEs, XML, SOAP, toolsHow EJBs Hinder Web Applications- October 29, 2003 I had a company meeting last night at ObjectPartners and I got into a discussion on areas where EJBs may hinder development, especially for Web applications. As I drove home, I thought more about how Web applications work anmd how the object-relational model supported by EJBs gets in the way for most parts of a Web user interface.

This example program sends an XML file to the server via HTTP. This is perfect for testing Web services, be they SOAP or otherwise.

The job situation has finally settled down and I feel like I'm actually making progress again. (I'm now at ObjectPartners.)

Setup was reasonably simple and I started accessing an oracle database right away.Quantum creates a new database perspective within Eclipse. From this perspective, you can browse through the tables, run SQL statements and query for data. Simple. Easy. Nice.http://www.jroller.com/ericfj/entry/quantumdb_plugin_for_eclipse |
