Tutorials : NetBeans Visual Web Pack: Learning by Example :

Create the MYSTORE Database for the Application

By default, VWP comes with a test database named Travel. You won't be using that database in this article, so you have to install a new one that matches the right conditions. To do this, download the MYSTORE.zip archive and extract the content in the directory where the other NetBeans databases are. If you do not know where to put it, launch NetBeans and check this: 
Tools::Options::Advanced Options::IDE Configuration::Server and External Tool
Settings::Java DB Database
Looking at the panel on the right, you will notice the database's location property. That's the directory in which you'll place the new database, named MYSTORE. Now, start NetBeans and set up a new connection for this database. Access the Runtime window (if is not visible, display it from Window::Runtime or Ctrl+5) and expand the database node. Right-click on this node and select the New Connection item from the popup menu. This will display the New Database Connection window. Populate the text fields as follows:
  • Database URL: jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/MYSTORE
  • User Name: MYSTORE
  • Password: MYSTORE
Click OK and wait for connection to be established. A new JDBC connection should appear in the connection list under the Databases node.

Before you start developing your application, copy and unzip the img.zip directory in any directory on your computer. Later you will use this directory to upload product images, so don't forget where you put it.

Create the Application Using VWP

The sample application you'll be building is a simple interface to administrate the database of an e-commerce site. To begin, open NetBeans and create a new application:
  • From the File menu, choose the New Project item.
  • From the New Project window, select Web from Categories and Visual Web Application from Projects. Then click Next.
  • For the Project Name, type MyStoreAdminGUI.
  • For the Server, choose Sun Java System Application Server 9.
  • For the Java EE Version, choose Java EE 5.
  • Click Finish.
The Design window should look something like Figure 2.

Next, start the Java DB server and connect to the MYSTORE database:

  • From the Tools menu, choose Java DB Database::Start Java DB Server.
  • From the Runtime window, expand the Database node and select the connection specific to the MYSTORE database.
  • Right-click on it and select the Connect item from the popup menu.
  • In the Connect window, type MYSTORE in the Password text field. Then click OK.
