Learning Curve Journal, Part 4: Accessing a Web Service

This Learning Curve Journal series introduced a number of basic concepts and techniques to help one get started using the JavaFX Script programming language (shortened in this series to JavaFX Script). This paper demonstrates how to use JavaFX Script to access a web service. In doing that, it also showed how easy it is to access Java technology classes, such as Swing classes, from JavaFX Script. One also saw in this series how features such as code completion simplify building and running JavaFX applications in NetBeans IDE 6.1. One can also build and run a JavaFX application from the command line using the JavaFX Preview SDK.
