JavaFX Rich Internet Applications Connected to GlassFish Java EE 5 services.

GlassFish is a very popular application server offering Database access (JPA), Web Services hosting (JAX RS Jersey RESTFul services, JAX-WS) and is standard based (Java EE 5 and coming Java EE 6). JavaFX is the new platform based on the Java platform to delivering rich content based client applications (applet, standalone applications). This talk given at Jazoon 2009 describe a few ways to connect the 2 worlds: JavaFX Client, consuming Server side services hosted in a GlassFish server environment. This presentation is a mix of slides covering the different ways to connect web services to FX clients and demo covering end to end development of an App with Web Services creation and consumption with FX, using the NetBeans IDE and the GlassFish Application Server.
