Hello!
I'm a Sun Studio Creator2 beginner so this question may seem foolish.
What kind of applications is it normally used for?

Hi

I think you would have done better to post in the ide forum, bu tto answer your question. Creator is concerned with the front end. So building user interfaces quickly using JSF components in a way that protects the user from the code. It will also generate the plumbing for you, do data validation/translation, etc.

What happens next is up to you. You could just attach data sources and carry on. Probably this is if you have a small, low traffic, low transaction website. For fully scalable enterprise applications, you might want to use EJB (directly or indirectly) as the data source. There is an article here. Or you could use your skeletal plumbing code to access something else entirely, but these are architectural decisions. You may wish to check out the sun tutorials

If you think of it in window GUI systems, it provides everything from the component, input and validation. It generates the empty method to handle the action performed.

Incidentally, ihave been evaluating it recently and think it has a lot to offer.

Hope this helps

Thank you much for giving a detailed explanation.
And one more question!
I've searched through the net but couldnt find how can I invoke a servlet
from the IDE.
If there is a source showing how this can be done could you please forward
me onto it.
Thank you!
