1.  General information 
E FixIT is a JavaBeans component package which is used in creating server applications that connect to an 
M server running VA FileMan database environment. The applications are built with Java and use 
JavaServer Pages (JSP) technology as a link ( a glue ) between HTML and the server application; 
applications are JavaBeans that act as a bridge between the HTML front end and database. 
The document is meant to be used in conjunction with 
FixIT Developer's Guide
, which can be 
downloaded from the same place as this document and e FixIT. 
E FixIT provides a way to create front ends similar to earlier Delphi/Web FixIT tools. It's not meant to 
replace them, but rather provide a third alternative: 
Delphi FixIT is best for creating PC executable programs ( thick clients ) that connect to a 
FileMan database files. 
Web FixIT is for creating Java applets that ase based on a thin client/server interaction. Applets 
are applications that are first downloaded to the client browser and then executed in a Java Virtual 
Machine within the browser. 
E FixIT applications provide the thinnest client solution: The entire application processing remove 
from the client. The application resides by a www server. 
The e FixIT package is based on Web FixIT which in turn has been developed on the basis of Delphi 
FixIT. As the application building contains much the same as in Web/Delphi FixIT, a development tool 
such as JBuilder is very useful. 
There is a demonstration e FixIT application available at 
http://kettinki.uku.fi/edemo/demo.jsp
. The 
application demonstrates most of e FixIT package's abilities: 
User validation 
Session handling 
Queries
 (finding a pointer value for a field or navigating between records of a file) 
FileMan reports 
Subfiles 
(logical and hierarchical)
Various FileMan field types and corresponding HTML elements 
Two dimensional grid containing database records 
Extracting XML parsed information from a FileMan database 
Chapter 2
 contains information about the structure of the e FixIT architecture. 
Chapter 3
 describes the software needs of the e FixIT package. 
Chapters 4
 describes the steps needed to use the e FixIT package with JBuilder. 
Chapter 5 
includes a diagram about an e FixIT application's structure.
In 
chapters 6 to 7
 there is a detailed example of building an e FixIT application with a form wizard tool. 
Chapter 8
 contains information about distributing e FixIT applications.
