Welcome to the The BC4J Toy Store Demo

Steve Muench, Consulting Product Manager
BC4J Development Team, Oracle Corporation


The BC4J Toy Store demo is a simple web storefront application adhering to the Model/View/Controller (MVC) design pattern. It is implemented using two existing J2EE application frameworks: Jakarta Struts and Oracle Business Components for Java. By dissecting the framework-based implementation of the BC4J Toy Store demo, we learn how BC4J simplifies building all aspects of the model layer, and how the Struts and BC4J frameworks cooperate to simplify implementing the view and controller layers. The web user interface is fully translated into English, Italian, and German to show off the internationalization features of these two frameworks.

You can download the demo (2.7M), which includes the fully commented source code, as well as an extensive technical whitepaper explaining how the demo was built. You can also read the read the technical whitepaper online. The whitepaper explains how to run the demo inside Oracle9i JDeveloper, Oracle's Java IDE.

If you find the demo useful and/or educational, or have comments on how the demo could be improved or expanded, feel free to drop me a line to let me know. You can follow my occasional postings of BC4J-related tips and techniques over on my Dive into BC4J weblog.

General technical questions about Oracle9i JDeveloper, BC4J, and BC4J/Struts integration can be posted to the Oracle Technology Network's JDeveloper Discussion Forum. Bookmark the Oracle Technology Network to stay up to date on all Oracle technology.
