VisualAge for Java Enterprise is the first enterprise-aware, incremental
Java application development environment designed to connect Java clients
to existing server data, transactions, and applications.
VisualAge for Java Enterprise provides connectivity to enterprise
servers on top of the functions of VisualAge for Java Professional.
The professional version provides the visual programming paradigm; a
workbench with edit, incremental compile, and debug; and an automatic
version control system.
The enterprise access builders include a Data Access Builder for JDBC
applications that connect to relational databases, an RMI Access Builder
that enables construction of distributed Java applications, a CICS Access
Builder for applications that invoke CICS transactions, and a C++ Access
Builder for applications that invoke C++ server code.
This book demonstrates a practical approach to using VisualAge for Java
Enterprise. A sample ATM bank application is used throughout the book to
illustrate the use of the enterprise access builders.
