Introduction:
This test specification serves for purpose of testing guide of JSF pages from Entity classes feature. CRUD generator creates basic backing beans for entity classes,
selected in wizard and generates also for each of them basic List,Edit,New and Detail pages. This is of course nothing but very crude JSF application,in the end,but
it colud be used e.g. for demonstration purposes or for easy input of data into database.
Setup: Make sure you have Sun Java System Application Server 8.2 or Sun Java System Application Server 9 installed on your computer.
NetBeans 5.5.1 will support both servers, so Test JSF pages from Entity class on each one.
