MyEclipse Reports Example project online

The MyEclipse team just released MyEclipse Reports which is an enterprise ready reporting solution that works for MyEclipse Web Projects.  So in order to help everyone get an idea of what MyEclipse Reports can do, we've put a new Reports example project on Examples On-Demand site.

To be able to install the example project below you will need to make sure that you have installed the MyEclipse Reports Add-On onto MyEclipse 6.0.1.  If you already have MyEclipse 6.0.1 then from the MyEclipse menu choose "Add features..." and in the dialog that is shown there should be an option for "MyEclipse Reports" feature than you can install. 

MERSimpleReportsExample 

Soon we will be posting a couple more reporting projects with some much more advanced reports that show more capabilities.

Examples On-Demand in Action!

If you are checking out the Examples On-Demand website, up at the top, next to the Examples link you should notice the new Live Demo link. This is a new demo, with voice, that only lasts about a minute and a half and shows you how to get started with Examples On-Demand with about 2-clicks. If you are confused what this whole shebazz is all about, give it a click and see how it works!

Hello World!

Hey guys, my name is Riyad and I'm part of the Examples On-Demand team. In an attempt to get some more information out there to you about how to use Examples On-Demand, what it does, why it's cool and so on, I've been working on some educational material that should be released soon.

Stay tuned!

6 Basic Java Servlet Examples

You know, when we launched Examples On-Demand, we started out with more detailed, full end-to-end examples, like the Blog application that has 4 CRUD operations using JSF as front end and JPA persistence on the back end running against the MyEclipse embedded Derby database.  Obviously this isn't an example for those that are new to java technology.

Then today I ran across this post.  This user was trying to learn how to build their first Java Servlet in MyEclipse.  Even though we have some good documentation on building web projects, I realized that we don't have a basic Java Servlets example.  

So I went and made one real quick using some servlet examples provided by the Tomcat folks.  The new project is called JavaServletExamples

MyEclipse 6.0.x user you can access this project through Examples On-Demand browser (MyEclipse > Examples On-Demand menu)

Non-myeclipse users can find it here:

http://www.examplesondemand.com/  Then scroll down a few projects until you see JavaServletExamples

Struts+Hibernate and Webservices example projects available

Recently, I worked on the Struts Hibernate Blog Example project as well as the TerraServer WS Client Example project.  I'd like to share some of my experiences while working on those.
Starting with the Struts+Hibernate example, frankly I hadn't had much of Hibernate exposure so I was a little apprehensive about the entire idea. But one thing that excited me was the oppurtunity to work with our Hibernate Tools, an area within MyEclipse that I had not explored much.  In the end it turned out to be a very simple exercise as I had to just start the Hibernate Capabilities wizard and MyEclipse did the majority of the rest. I didn't write any of the Hibernate mappings or configuration files but within minutes the persistence part was done. With reverse engineering all I had to do then was to write a front end to access some of these reverse engineered java objects.

The webservices example was a bit of a cake walk as another member of the team had already done a significant amount of work on that.

Both these projects are available here along with a few others and there are lots to come.

BTW, if you use MyEclipse 6.0.1, you can find them by going to MyEclipse > Examples On-Demand....

Vatsan,
MyEclipse Team
