Sample database application

This chapter describes a sample database application developed using DataExpress components and the JBuilder design tools. Where necessary, the code generated by the design tools was modified to provide custom behavior. There are no tutorial steps on this application as it is intended to consolidate the individual "how to" topics discussed elsewhere in this book.

The completed files for this sample application are included in the jbuilder/samples/DataExpress/BasicApp subdirectory of your JBuilder installation under the project name BasicApp.jpr.

This application demonstrates the following functionality:

Sample international database application

Writing an international application involves additional complexities which impact application development, for example, using locales other than en_US (American English). For an example of an international database application that includes many common features of a database application in addition to support for multiple languages and locales, see the IntlDemo.jpr file in the jbuilder/samples/MultiLingual subdirectory of your JBuilder installation.
