VisualAge for Java for the Network Station

VisualAge for Java provides a productive environment for developing applications for the IBM Network Station. The VisualAge for Java IDE lets you develop, debug and prototype your code before deploying it to a Network Station. Deploying the code to the Network Station is as easy as exporting the compiled files to a shared directory on the Network Station Manager and configuring the application.

The following figure shows the suggested configuration for application developers, testers and users of the system.

Network Station Development Scenario

The following are the key points of this application development scenario:

  1. Developers have application development machines that support VisualAge for Java.
  2. Developers have Network Stations to test their developed code in the Network Station environment.
  3. Each tester or user of the system has a Network Station.
  4. There is a single Network Station Manager that manages all of the network stations and has a shared directory that is exported through its web server.
