This tutorial explores refactoring in NetBeans Enterprise Pack. The NetBeans IDE with NetBeans Enterprise Pack supports XML schema, Business Process Execution Language (BPEL), and Web Service Description Language (WSDL) source file refactoring. You can use refactoring to rename and safely delete local and global components. The IDE will ensure that a rename or safe delete action is propagated throughout the project tree. This means that you will not have to change the references manually. Refactoring reduces the complexity of making changes to XML schema and WSDL files and reduces unnecessary repetition. The IDE's refactoring features show you the parts of your project that are affected and makes all necessary changes to your code. In this tutorial, you will review refactoring functionality in a BPEL Module project.

Profiling Java applications is often considered a black art. There are tools available to help you track down performance bottlenecks and memory-allocation problems, but they are not always easy to use, particularly when profiling large applications. Because large applications tend to be those that most need profiling, this presents a significant problem. Dynamic bytecode instrumentation is an innovative solution to these problems. It lets you control precisely which parts of an application are profiled.

This demo is designed to showcase NetBeans' end-2-end application development support - J2EE to J2SE to J2ME. Along the way, we'll showcase many of the useful features found in NetBeans, such as refactoring and HTTP monitoring. We start by showing NetBeans' support for creating EJBs by creating a CMP entity bean. We then create a simple Java object to show how easy it is to call the EJB. Then we create a JSP to show NetBeans' support for JSP syntax and the Java Standard Tag Library (JSTL). Along the way, we'll demonstrate the HTTP monitor, refactoring support and the graphical deployment descriptor editors. We'll then expose the JEE application as a web service. Finally, we'll create a MIDlet that accesses the J2EE application and showcases the MIDlet visual designer.

When developers think of NetBeans, they typically think of the popular open source IDE.
