Requirements and Features

For this application to be an effective tool for understanding the WAE and Web application architectures in general, the following architecturally significant design elements must be included:

• JSP and servlet classes
• Client-side scripting
• Specializations for certain browser versions
• JavaBean use in JSPs

To keep the focus on the modeling and architecture, a commonly understood domain, such as e-retail applications, should be used. Having to explain both the domain problem and the architecture would distract from the goal of seeing the modeling technique in action. Well-documented code and simplicity and understandability are favored over efficiency and performance.
