Writing Java with Netbeans Issue

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I am looking for an in-depth explanation for the following school project that I am attempting to (and failing terribly at) understand. The assignment is to use Netbeans IDE Java EE (Installed Glassfish Server with it, so I am hoping to use that) to create a simply Store locator web app that interfaces with Best Buy's API BBYOpen.

To my current understanding I need to create a .jsp file that will house the intial HTML form that will allow a user to input their zipcode and a distance radius, in order to find the Best Buy Store locations closest to the input zipcode. As well as a servlet that will handle the form data capture and pass it through to the Best Buy API.

On a final note, I am learning this web development without much experience, and I realize that many of you have vast amounts more experience than myself, so if anyone could provide me with a detailed (i.e. For a dummy) explanation of how I might go about doing this, I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks and Best Wishes
