This book shows you how to use Swing to add a GUI to your Jython scripts, with an emphasis on the WebSphere Application Server wsadmin utility. In fact, we're going to teach you Swing using Jython, and we're going to do it in a way that, hopefully, that makes your scripts easier for people to use, more robust, more understandable, and therefore easier to maintain.

What you’ll learn

  • How to add Swing APIs to your Jython scripts
  • How to work with components, containers, layouts, input/output fields, lists, menus, trees, frames, tables, event handling and more
  • How to build a simple global security application with a graphical UI
  • How to monitor and indicate progress
  • How to create a simple graphical help application
  • How to build a security configuration report application
  • How to port over to WebSphere for middleware deployment
