OTN developers have implemented the Virtual Shopping Mall 1.3 (VSM 1.3), a sample application that demonstrates the various features of the J2EE platform. The VSM 1.3 enables vendors to set up online shops and customers to browse through these shops. It also enables a system administrator to approve and reject requests for new shops and maintain a list of shop categories. Some of the J2EE features that we intend to highlight through this application include:

• J2EE Design Patterns
• Internationalization Techniques
• Apache Struts Framework
• Security Features using JAAS

We have put together a series of tutorials that uses the Virtual Shopping Mall 1.3 (VSM 1.3) sample application to demonstrate programming techniques that take advantage of features defined in the J2EE 1.3 and EJB 2.0 specifications. While describing parts of the larger application, each tutorial is self-contained, and explains how to use a technique or perform a task.

The sample application has been certified on Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE 10g on Windows 2000 and Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1 platforms.
