Before you begin, you must complete Exercise 1.1: Reviewing the Web customer inquiry application.
By the end of this tutorial you will have enhanced the Web customer inquiry application. You will invoke the Web Interaction wizard to first create a new input page to view a list of customers (custList.jsp). Next you will add an iSeries RPG service program to handle this Web interaction that you just created. Then you will invoke the Web Interaction wizard to use the existing output page (result.jsp) to create new output pages to update customer records and confirm updates were completed on the iSeries (custDispUpdateResults.jsp and custDoUpdateResults.jsp). You will then run the application in the local test environment on your workstation. You will also create an informative error page if there is an error during the update of a customer record.
Here is the completed e-business customer inquiry application.
This is the Customer Inquiry input page.
You click the Find link. The Customer List page
opens:
You select the first entry on the list and then click the Get Customer
Number button. You return to the Customer Inquiry page with the
customer number entered into the customer number field.
Next you click the Submit button. The Customer details
page opens showing the details of the selected customer.
When the information is displayed, you click the Update Customer
Record button.
You change some of the fields and click the Submit
button. You see the confirmation page with the new values.
You then click the Back to Customer Inquiry link and you return to the Customer Inquiry page.
You have looked at the enhanced customer inquiry application that you will build in this tutorial.
