Hello Sir,
Could you please elaborate (for e.g the classes ..I could not find the source code)what you have explained.
Thank you.

It would be really a very good article or a tutorial if the author had tested it himself before posting it. I don't even talk of missing details, classes, code mistakes, ets. that make you loose any wish to continue.

Well, this seems like a fantastic tutorial, until suddenly the "CreateCustomerServlet" description morphs into a "ListCustomersServlet". We're left to figure out how to finish the servlets ourselves (still in progress for me), since as others point out here a bunch of code is missing from the zip file download. VERY disappointing after such a strong start.

Good introduction article. Unfortunately, it's not clear where the database connection file DBTest.xml should reside when running Tomcat under Eclipse. Where does this file or it's content go in the Dynamic Web project tree? Because of this, I get an error message at debug time:

javax.servlet.ServletException: Cannot create JDBC driver of class '' for connect URL 'null'

I was very interesting article, but most of the listings where not posted. I was hoping to gain some insight on how you configure Hibernate. Your article stated to look at listing 9, but listing 9 was know where to be found. I was also frustrated when I could not find the DBTest.war file on java.sys-con web site.

Good furture article and maybe next time JDJ will include all of the necesasry file listings.

Very well done. It will be good to see how the application works with hibernate.

Hi Boris,

thank you for your great tutorial! Maybe you could add a note to your article regarding running Tomcat in eclipse:

You have to put the content of DBTest.xml in the (new) file context.xml in "WebContent/META-INF". The path strings are not needed, except the "path" string.

regards, Daniel

Soource code: For those who did not find it: the link to the source is at the top of listing 1. View link: http://res.sys-con.com/story/nov05/152270/source.html

could you provide the link for the source code

Did anyone notice that listings 3-10 aren't included in the dead-tree edition?

Corrections to the article:

For the code to work "out of the box", the Customer and Order classes need to be created in a package called "domain"

Figure 2 shows "cust_id" as a member of the Order class. However, the image of Figure 3 (and the CreateOrder class sample code) utilize "custId".

A helpful reminder that a user with permissions to access the database tables would have been helpful.

Several of the links are broken. This could be a really good article but ones needs the various links to work correctly.

Please, think Linux. Think about Linux users when writing articles about developing whatever using:

Eclipse
Apache
Tomcat
MySQL

It is confusing to read about things that perhaps only apply to MS Windows (¨be sure to launch C:\Mysql\winmysqladmin.exe ¨) when the tools are mostly used by Linux people. And, this is not religion.

At least, write referencing both OSs.

Where is the source code for the article? I can't find any for this issue of the magazine at java.sys-con.com
