Java Pet Store 2.0 Reference Application, Early Access

The Java Pet Store 2.0 Reference Application is a sample application brought to you by the Java BluePrints program at Sun Microsystems. This application is designed to illustrate how the Java EE 5 Platform can be used to develop an AJAX-enabled Web 2.0 application. The application comes with full source-code available under a  BSD-style license, so you can experiment with it and use it in your own applications.

The Java Pet Store 2.0 is the reference application for building AJAX web applications on Java EE 5. It illustrates BluePrints for using AJAX with Java, building AJAX-enabled JSF component libraries, using Java Persistence APIs, applying MVC and other design patterns in an AJAX web app, using Mashups such as Google Maps service for location specific searches of pets and PayPal service for purchases, using an RSS feed as a data  source, and lots more.
