This +application showcases a merging of Java and Perl in which Java is employed +to generate a user interface, and Perl is used for data access. +Specifically, Perl is used with Shishir Gundavaram's Sprite module to offer +permanent storage through SQL manipulation of text files. This application +is a Rolodex(tm)-style address file, offering the ability to add, edit or +delete names and addresses. You may also navigate through the address list. + +To use this example, you will need to install the Sprite module from CPAN. + +To install the sample, you must first have JPL installed and working. +Please ensure that you have set environment variables as directed in the +JPL README and that the JPL Sample program works. Once this has been +accomplished, you can build the files in this directory with the following +commmands: + + perl Makefile.PL + make + make install + +You can run this by typing: + + java JPL_Rolo + +The application should appear with some sample data, and you can mess +around with it and put all your friends in the address book. Far out! + |
