Chapter 2 Tutorial: Java Components and Java Clients

Tutorial requirements

To create the tutorial application, you need:

The Jaguar CTS software
If you have not already installed Jaguar, follow the instructions in the Enterprise Application Server Installation Guide to install the software.
Java development environment
Jaguar comes with two versions of Sun Microsystems Java Developer's Kit: JDK 1.0.2 and JDK 1.1x, where x is the latest JDK release that has been tested with Jaguar. "Java compiler scripts" describes script files that will set the environment to run the JDK compilers that are included in your Jaguar installation.

In the sample application, you will be developing a Java applet that will handle user interaction. For the applet development, you may use any of the off-the-shelf Java rapid application development (RAD) tools including:
- Sybase® Power J™
- Symantec Visual Cafe
- Microsoft Visual J++

To run the tutorial applet, you must have:

A Web browser that is compatible with JDK 1.1
Netscape 4.x, Internet Explorer 4.0, or Sun's HotJava browser have all been tested with this tutorial.

Note Older versions of the Netscape and Microsoft browsers support only JDK 1.0.2. You may need to create clients that are compatible with JDK 1.0.2 to satisfy your site's deployment requirements. See the Jaguar CTS Programmer's Guide for more information.
