Chapter 5: JDBC and Web Access to Relational Databases
Eclectic Online Shopping Enterprise
The ER diagram of the Eclectic Online Shopping Enterprise is presented in Chapter 1 (Figure 1.1) and extended in Exercise 1 of Checkpoint 1.2.5 to include a specialization hierarchy for order information. The supporting examples for this chapter demonstrate the use of JSP and ASP.NET to create a Web interface to the Eclectic Online Shopping Enterprise. For each technology, the Web application provides a Web site where customers can create accounts, browse and search items, select items to purchase, and view past order information. The JSP implementation demonstrates the use of JDBC as described in Chapter 5. The ASP.NET implementation demonstrates the use of ADO.NET, which is similar in functionality to JDBC.

MetaWebDB Application
MetaWebDB is a Web-based application that dynamically accesses a relational database via a call-level interface. The MetaWebDB application provides the user with the capability to issue ad hoc queries and data manipulation statements over the database and displays the metadata and instance of the database in another browser window.
