Building the Sample Form
The sample form is created using an integrated development environment (IDE), in this example, Visual Café 3.0. The example demonstrates how to build an applet that allows you to enter an account ID and use an Oracle Tuxedo service to get and show the account balance.
Follow the basic steps below to create this sample.
- In Visual Café, choose File →New Project and select either JFC Applet or AWT application. This step provides you with the basic form designer on which you drop the JoltBeans.
- Drag and drop all of the JoltBeans you want to use in your applet from the Component Library onto the form designer.
- Modify or customize each bean using the property list or the custom property editor.
- Wire the beans together using the Interaction Wizard.
- Compile the applet.
These steps are described in detail in the following sections.
Note:
The graphic interface of previous versions of Visual Café differ from the look of Visual Café 3.0. You can complete this sample applet in a previous version of Visual Café; however, the steps executed in the Interaction Wizard differ slightly from this example.
