Designing and building a web application using AJAX and Java EE 5 can present a lot of challenges to developers:

how much AJAX to use and where to use it
how to apply Model View Contoller and other design patterns
how to build your domain model with Java Persistence APIs
whether to return XML or HTML or JSON to service XMLHttpRequests
how to leverage RSS feeds as data sources
how to mash up with Google Map APIs to provide location-specific searches of your data
how to wrap AJAX in JSF components
how to incorporate an existing AJAX library like DOJO toolkit
how to choose a convention for JavaScript you write
and many other design choices

The Java Pet Store 2.0, Early Access, provides a reference application illustrating the blueprints for designing a complex AJAX web application on Java EE 5. The Java Petstore 2.0 runs on a Java EE application server such as the Java EE 5 SDK or the GlassFish project.

Download the first early access public release of Java Pet Store 2.0!
The download also includes a NetBeans project to make it easy to use in an IDE.
