!!Java Development

If you've just downloaded AppFuse and want to setup it up on your machine, your best bet is the [QuickStart Guide|AppFuseQuickStart]. Otherwise, you're probably looking for some more advanced stuff, like the [AppFuse] Tutorials I've written:

!!AppFuse Tutorials

If you've just downloaded AppFuse and want to setup it up on your machine, your best bet is the [QuickStart Guide|AppFuseQuickStart]. Once you've got everything setup, the tutorials below are a great resource for learning how to develop with [AppFuse].

%%note __NOTE:__ These tutorials are included in AppFuse's distribution. If you want to update your project's copy (in the ''docs'' directory), run "ant wiki".%%

As of 1.6.1, you can generate most of the code covered in these tutorials. If you're using Struts+Hibernate, you can generate ''__all__'' of it. For Spring and WebWork, it was too much trouble to write the installers so you will need to manually configure the Controllers and Actions. This was mainly due to the fact that I'm not using XDoclet for these web frameworks and the limitations of using Ant as an installer. The __AppGen__ tool which generates the code is covered in [Part I|CreateDAO].

There's also an [AppFuse Generator|http://raibledesigns.com/page/rd?anchor=the_appfuse_generator] project that has similar functionality to AppGen.

__Part II:__ [Creating new Managers|CreateManager] - A HowTo for creating Business Facades that talk between the database tier (DAOs) and the web tier (Actions or Controllers).

__Part IV:__ [Configuring Tiles and Action CRUD methods|ConfiguringTiles] - Integrating personForm.jsp with Tiles, replacing execute with different CRUD methods (add, edit, delete), customizing the JSP so it looks good and finally - writing a WebTest to test the JSPs functionality.

__Part V:__ [Adding Validation and List Screen|ValidationAndList] - Adding validation logic to the personForm so that firstName and lastName are required fields and adding a list screen to display all person records in the database.

__Part III:__ __(Struts)__ [Creating Struts Actions and JSPs|CreateActions] - A HowTo for creating Actions and JSPs in your AppFuse project. Includes generating JSPs and customizing them to look good. Also, you will write a WebTest to test the JSPs functionality. Other web framework options are as follows:
