This tutorial teaches you how to use the Java visual editor to build a rich Java client that connects to a Web service. The client that you build in the tutorial is called .

is a Java application that is used to maintain a company's employee directory. The application connects to a sample Web service that provides methods for creating, retrieving, updating, and deleting employee records.

The client is built visually in the Java visual editor using Swing components. The Java visual editor provides a set of helper classes (data sources, data objects, and binders) or connecting to and working with the Web service. The Web service is deployed locally on your own installation of IBM WebSphere Application Server v6.0, and the tools help you generate a Java proxy for your client based on a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file.
