Building Java Enterprise Applications

Populating the Data Stores

Once everything is in place, you are ready to get to data population. Example 7-2 shows a client class, called EntityCreator, that connects to the application server, creates a lot of sample data, and then does the same for the directory server. While the class is fairly long, it does almost nothing very exciting. Your work through the first chapters should make this all fairly simple stuff by now. Enter in the source code and compile it, and get ready to test the application data stores.
