Sun Studio Creator

This stuff is *wicked* cool! I saw some of the early releases of Rave which were already quite impressive, but the depth of integration of JSF, JSP and Studio Creator is quite nice. I definitively see a few (!) features in Creator which Whidbey will have to copy in order to compete.

My favorite feature (so far) is the table drag'n'drop into a grid: just navigate to your table of choice in the server navigator and pull this table onto a JSF data grid - Creator will automatically create all necessary code to load and update the table.

Source code availability and Shutdown week

You might have noticed that I took off any sourcecode from this blog. This is due to fairly severe restrictions we are faced in respect to export control. I hope to get our code through legal review as fast as possible, so that we can share it with every body interested.

Talking about as fast as possible: since Sun is shut down for the week of July 4, I will be fairly incommunicado over the next days (hiking through the Arizona desert ...). If you would like to contact me, please do so through email (first name dot last name at sun dot com) or comments to one of my articles.
