About the Building a Simple Java Application Tutorial

This tutorial guides you through the process of using JDeveloper to create a simple Java application.

The application you create in this tutorial will display order information based on the Order Entry schema included in the Oracle9i sample schemas. The application's user interface will enable customers to look up the status of an order. When the customer selects one of eleven status codes from a dropdown list, the interface will display the meaning of that status code.
