> ## Getting Started with Enterprise Beans

> This chapter shows how to develop, deploy, and run a simple J2EE application named `ConverterApp`. The purpose of `ConverterApp` is to calculate currency conversions between yen and eurodollars. `ConverterApp` consists of an enterprise bean, which performs the calculations, and two types of clients: an application client and a Web client.

> Here's an overview of the steps you'll follow in this chapter:

> 1. Create the J2EE application: `ConverterApp`.
> 2. Create the enterprise bean: `ConverterBean`.
> 3. Create the application client: `ConverterClient`.
> 4. Create the Web client in `ConverterWAR`.
> 5. Deploy `ConverterApp` onto the server.
> 6. From a terminal window, run `ConverterClient`.
> 7. Using a browser, run the Web client.

> Before proceeding, make sure that you've done the following:

> - Read Chapter 1.
> - Become familiar with enterprise beans (see Chapter 23).
> - Started the server (see Starting and Stopping the Application Server).
> - Launched `deploytool` (see Starting the deploytool Utility)
