In this fourth video, Ravi focuses on using “Data Aware Web Application Modules”. JBuilder 2008 includes three Application Factories for data aware web applications: Struts2, SpringMVC, and JSF. These modules are built on top of the AppFuse open source framework. Ravi demonstrates using the Struts Data Aware module to build an application. JBuilder 2008 also includes a BookStore reusable module built using the base JSF Data Aware Application Factory module.

Application Factory modules come in three flavors: “Bottom Up”, “Top Down” and “Template”. “Bottom Up” modules can be used as starting points for building applications. “Top Down” modules are full featured applications that you can customize to your needs and also add new features and capabilities. “Template” (or example) modules are somewhere in the middle between “Bottom Up” and “Top Down” modules. In this video Ravi showcases the Java PetStore template module.
