Summary:

This IBM Redbooks publication is a practical guide for developing Web applications using the Rational Software Development Platform. We use the Rational Web Developer development environment that is provided as part of WebSphere Application Server - Express V6 to develop a sample Web application targeted to the WebSphere Application Server - Express runtime platform. We discuss a sample scenario based on realistic requirements for small and medium customers, and provide a guide for the development of this scenario. Our focus is on describing a simple process that allows non technical readers to understand and participate in the development of Web applications using Rational Web Developer. Our target runtime environment is the Express Application Server so we use the Rational Web Developer development environment that is part of the WebSphere Application Server - Express installation Please note that the additional material referenced in the text is not available from IBM.
