With the application modeled and the project requirements
defined, it is time to think about which JavaTM APIs
to use. The application is clearly client and server based
because you will want to accommodate 1 to n buyers, sellers,
and viewers at any one time.
Because registration and auction item data must be stored
and retrieved from somewhere, you will need an API for
database access.
JavaTM APIs
The core application can be created in a number of ways using any
of the following APIs:
- Sockets, multithreading, and JDBCTM APIs.
- Remote Method Invocation (RMI) and JDBC APIs.
- Enterprise JavaBeansTM platform.
Enterprise JavaBeans provides an easy way to
create thin-client multitiered applications because it handles
transaction and state management, multithreading, resource
pooling, and other complex low-level details. The simplest
way to code the auction application is with the Enterprise JavaBeans
platform.
Chapter 2 explains the core application code and how to
set up and run the example.
