Faced with enormous pressures to do more with less, companies need a more productive, enterprise-level, integrated development tool. IBM WebSphere Studio Enterprise Developer Version 5.1.2 is the solution to this problem. This IBM Redbook focuses on how to solve problems using the new features of the tool including: The capability to do complete end-to-end COBOL CICS application development from creating, testing, debugging, and deploying on the workstation to the IBM z/OS environment. The capability to do complete end-to-end XML enablement of existing COBOL programs without any changes to them. Rich enhancements of the Enterprise Generation Language (EGL), allowing Java and non-Java programmers alike to create full-function COBOL and J2EE Java applications using a simple, easy-to-learn programming language. Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition Connector architecture (JCA) and Web Services Description Language (WSDL) support that enables developers to connect to data produced by existing COBOL programs that communicate with systems that use XML for data interchange, including those based on Web services. A fully functional z/OS-based DB2 stored procedure builder on the workstation.

This IBM Redbook provides an overview of HATS 5.0.4 on z/OS. Many of these improvements are available on the distributed platforms as well. Therefore, this publication should be of value to any HATS v5.0.4 user. This redbook is intended for IT managers, application developers, system administrators and architects. The topics presented use as examples HATS applications that front-end 3270 programs and run on WebSphere for z/OS. Many of the concepts in this book also apply to 5250 applications, VT applications, and the other WebSphere runtime platforms. The benefits of HATS are illustrated using examples. Readers then have opportunities to exercise what they have learned by completing hands-on labs. Deployment examples and considerations are presented. This includes discussion of the performance, scalability and reliability benefits of running HATS applications on z/OS. At the end of the book, readers should have a fundamental understanding of the product and be able to create, customize and deploy a HATS application.

This IBM Redbook describes the new concept of Web services from various perspectives. It presents the major building blocks Web services rely on. Here, well-defined standards and new concepts are presented and discussed. Whereas these concepts are described vendor-independent, this book also presents IBM's view and illustrates with suitable demonstration applications how Web services can be implemented using IBM's product portfolio, especially WebSphere Application Server Version 5.1 and WebSphere Studio Application Developer Version 5.1.1. This book is a major update to the IBM Redbook Web Services Wizardry with WebSphere Studio Application Developer, SG24-6292, and to WebSphere Version 5 Web Services Handbook, SG24-6891-00. This book is structured in two parts: - Part 1 presents the underlying concepts for the use of Web services: It presents the basic programming model, well-known concepts in an updated way, and new concepts that go beyond the scope of the earlier books. - Part 2 shows how Web services can be implemented using the latest IBM tools. Here we introduce a sample application that is demonstrated in various different ways.

This IBM Redbook is a programming guide for the application development tool, WebSphere Studio Application Developer V5. This tool is not only intended for the Java developer, but also for the Web designer who creates Web pages. The WebSphere Studio Application Developer basic tooling and team environment is presented along with the development and deployment of Web applications. WebSphere Studio Application Developer provides integrated development tools for all e-business development roles, including Web developers, Java developers, business analysts, architects, and enterprise programmers. The customizable, targeted, role-based approach of WebSphere Studio Application Developer will be characteristic of all new products built on the WebSphere Studio Workbench. It is well integrated with WebSphere Application Server and provides built-in server test environments that can be used for testing and profiling Web applications. This redbook consists of six parts: - Introducing WebSphere Studio - Developing applications - Testing and debugging applications - Deploying and profiling applications - Team programming - Appendixes and additional material

The ability to connect components is the first step in modernizing your application portfolio. In this IBM Redbook, we look at a real-world example of creating and connecting a Web application to Enterprise business logic using the Struts-based model-view-controller (MVC) framework and associated tooling within WebSphere Studio Enterprise Developer that makes this a snap. To address the needs of large enterprises, a model-based paradigm for building applications in a Struts-based MVC framework is being delivered in the Enterprise Developer. It provides a visual construction and assembly-based environment supporting the implementation of enterprise-level applications and including support for the multiple developer roles and technologies required by those applications. Examples of the technologies supported include HTML, Java, servlet, EJB, COBOL, EGL, PL/I, and connectors. EGL is a high-level language that supports the development of applications in either WebSphere (Java) or traditional transactional environments (CICS). EGL's focus is to allow developers of various backgrounds to be able to write mission-critical business processes for the Internet, which can be leveraged from Struts-based Web applications. This redbook introduces a sample application that encompasses Enterprise Developer concepts and best practices.
