Figure 5-12 Help System samples

The samples are arranged in four main categories:

Showcase samples-The most extensive samples provided. These contain complete multi-tier, end-to-end applications that follow best practices for application development.

Application samples-Applications created using more than one tool or API, showing how different tools within Rational Application Developer interact with each other.

Technology samples-These are smaller, code-based samples that focus on a single tool or API.

developerWorks samples-These samples are linked to the IBM developerWorks Web site and contain the latest samples published on this site. An Internet connection is required to access these samples.

For example, the JPA JSF Employee List application is one of the Faces Application samples. The starting page for this sample provides an introduction and links to setting up the sample, getting the sample code, running the sample, and references for further information. Figure | -13 shows the starting page for the JPA JSF Employee List sample application.
