Application architect, who configures the application, including defining the navigation
rules, configuring custom objects, and creating deployment descriptors.
This application is quite simple, and so it does not include any custom components. See chapter

checks the validity of your input. The system log prints Duke's number.
shows what
the first page looks like.
The source for the guessNumber application is located in the
tut-install/javaeetutorial5/examples/web/guessNumber/ directory created when you unzip
the tutorial bundle (see
