JSP Tutorial

We've done a fair bit of work with JDeveloper now, building quite a range of applications. Where we find it comes into its own is in the creation of web-based applications that are less data intensive, with more text-based content than tabular.

We couldn't find much documentation on how to use JDeveloper to create the sort of applications we wanted. There's loads about ADF, JSF, BPEL, web services and all the other buzz words, but we wanted the simplicity and control of creating our pages manually. We wanted the freedom to call on the database when we needed it, and without the overhead of a stack of xml files controlling the application.

• Styling the Page - adding some style to the page with css
• Database Access using a Bean - creating a java class to hold the code
