SMBs Should Take Note of Sun's Java Studio Creator 2

摘要

Sun's Java Studio Creator 2 is the company's upcoming second release of its somewhat lauded, somewhat maligned visual application development environment. In this review I give Java Studio Creator 2 (JSC2) Early Access edition a fresh look and discuss its merits and limitations. For the uninitiated, JSC2 is Sun's effort to bring the same visual approach to Java/J2EE Website development that Microsoft Visual Studio or Macromedia Dreamweaver users have enjoyed for years. Sun works to make the visual design approach in JSC2 more comprehensive from a J2EE perspective than what you would expect from Dreamweaver by allowing JSC2 users to tap directly into business logic and data represented by EJBs, Web services, or databases using a drag-and-drop paradigm.
