Beginner - Netbeans code behind class

Hi,

I am asp.net (C#) developer and I have decided to try jsp and MySQL. Does
anyone know how I could add a class and use it in my jsp page (similar to
code behind class in asp.net/C#), so I could step through the class code and
debug?

Thanks for your time.

Mehdi

You have to use a MVC framework for this.
Try Struts but there are lots of others too.

Struts is definitely not for beginners and you do not need it. To
quote from "Core Servlets and Java Server Pages" - "For simple and
moderately complex applications, implementing MVC from scratch with
"RequestDispatcher" is straightforward and flexible".

I would not even worry about MVC at this stage. It is a way of
improving the reliability and maintainability of your code and, if my
first steps at web based applications are a guide, they will need
rewriting anyway.

You need a servlet. NetBeans, in particular NetBeans 5.0, can be used
to debug the servlet code.

You may find it easier to learn by using Java Studio Creator to write
a simple application. You will find writing the application a fairly
trivial task but, by the time you understand what Studio Creator did
for you, transfer the application to another server and change the
database to MySQL you will have covered most the knowledge you need.
Studio Creator is a free download from
<http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/ea/jsc2/>. It
is based on NetBeans so you will find the interface familiar.

David,

Thanks for the advice. It seems very intresting, specially other Enterprise
IDEs offered free by Sun. I will download and give it a go.

Thanks

Mehdi

None of the Sun IDE's are based on NetBeans 5.0. They sensibly wait
until there is a stable NetBeans product before updating the ones they
support commercially. Unfortunately, that means that the latest
features are missing and I would miss Matisse and the improved server
application support in NetBeans 5.0. Java Studio Creator uses the
NetBeans platform (user interface) but it is a completely different
product and is aimed at the same market as Microsoft's Visual Web
Developer Express Edition.

If you are looking for alternative IDE's that are comparable to
NetBeans I have a list here <http://ide.profectus.com.au>.

Thanks again,

I installed the Sun Studio Creator and it seems the closest match to VS.NET
IDE as I wanted it (with code behind stuff). I noticed that the IDE is more
CPU and memory hungry comparing to VS.NET.

I am going to get use to the java syntax which is a bit similar to C# (sorry
I meant C# is similar to Java!)
