Steps to develop a website

What are the aspect开发者_Go百科s to be considered when I want to develop a website using J2EE application server and a database for back end, I am looking for an answer that can guide me through the steps required to get the site set up-

There is already a very comprehensive community wiki on What should a developer know before building a public web site? From that question you should be able to find most of the "best practices" to follow. As for specifics to J2EE, check out the following: Java Application Architecture Guide.

For reference: both of the above were found by searching the site for "web site" and "j2ee".

First of all you need to start thinking what's/are the Web Application Frameworks for Java that fits your needs. You have plenty of them:

• Apache Struts
• AppFuse
• Flexive
• GWT
• Grails
• Vaadin
• ItsNat
• JavaServer Faces
• Makumba
• OpenXava
• Eclipse RAP
• Reasonable Server Faces
• RIFE
• Restlet
• Seam
• Spring
• Stripes
• Tapestry
• WebWork
• Wicket
• ZK

Second: What will be the web server where the web app will run?

• Apache Tomcat
• Resin Server
• Caudium
• GlassFish
• IBM Lotus Domino service
• Jetty
• JRun
• lighttpd
• and many others

About the database, use Hibernate, will allow you to use all SQL databases (Oracle, MySQL, etc....)

Then the next step should be a simple "hello world" tutorial according the frameworks you are using and start from there to fallowing the Hibernate tutorials.
