The scenario for this tutorial is that you are a developer who has been given the task of creating a Business Components for Java application from an existing application. The existing application is an order entry application for a company that sells computer products: monitors, printers, software, etc. This application has been a maintenance nightmare and runs only an a thick-client front end.
Your mission is to create an order entry application that can be deployed to multiple platforms, and can use any type of client. To accomplish this task you'll need to create a business logic tier that is independent of a user interface.
There are a couple things that will make your task easier. For one, you're modifying an existing application, which means you'll be able to use the existing Order Entry schema. Also, the user interface will be coded later in the cycle, so you can use a generic client provided with JDeveloper, the Business Components Browser, for all your testing needs.
