Part 5 of the Build Web apps with ThinWire and Java code series explores a methodology for separating your ThinWire and Java™ Web site into multiple pages, providing the ability for your clients to switch among those pages using either direct pointer links or sequential page access.

In this tutorial

Very few Web sites consist of a single page. Rather, most Web sites consist of multiple pages that must be navigated using links, Next and Previous buttons, or something similar. In Part 5 of this series, you'll learn a methodology for separating your ThinWire and Java Web site into multiple pages, providing the ability for your clients to switch among those pages using either direct pointer links or sequential page access in a Next/Previous sense.

Objectives

Prerequisites

You will need:

• Knowledge of the material presented in the previous tutorials in this series.
• Knowledge of event-driven programming using the Java programming language as embodied in Sun's J2SE 5.0 (see DickBaldwin.com).
• Knowledge of how to deploy a Web application in a Java servlet container (see "Deployment of Web Applications in Jakarta Apache Tomcat 5").

System requirements

First, download and install the ThinWire framework (see Downloads in the tutorial).

Second, you will need access to a servlet container for testing your Web applications. The easiest way to do this is to install a servlet container as a localhost server (see Downloads in the tutorial and also see "Getting Started with Jakarta Tomcat, Servlets, and JSP" in Resources in the tutorial).

Third, download Sun's Java Development Kit (see Downloads in the tutorial).
