Developing distributed applications

Distributed application development is a feature of JBuilder Enterprise.

JBuilder provides excellent support for distributed application development. The JBuilder development environment greatly simplifies the creation of distributed applications, generating many of the files necessary to create multi-tier, distributed applications. Once the application is generated, you can add the business logic you need to the generated code. All the while you are using JBuilder's superb development environment--distributed computing enters the rapid application development (RAD) world.

This section is intended for developers familiar with distributed applications and distributed applications terminology. If you are not already familiar with these, consider reading a third-party book that explains distributed application concepts and technologies. You can find several recommended books on the Borland web site at http://www.borland.com/visibroker/books/.

For definitions of any unfamiliar Java terms, see "Java glossaries" in the Quick Start.

A discussion of the following technologies are discussed in this section:

Other topics in this section that will help you build n-tier applications include:

You should periodically check the JBuilder Technical Publications page of the Borland web site at http://www.borland.com/techpubs/jbuilder/ for updated and new documentation and tutorials on distributed application topics. The online help system, available from the JBuilder Help menu, may have more updated information on these topics than are available at the time of this printing.

If you have questions specific to distributed applications, you can post them to the CORBA-RMI newsgroup, borland.public.jbuilder.corba-rmi, by browsing to http://www.borland.com/newsgroups/.
