  So far, we have seen two of the technologies, D2W and ERRest, that Project Wonder offers for viewing and managing the data. In this tutorial, we will show how to do it with the "stateful" way of doing things. Stateful have been around since the beginning of WebObjects in 1996, so it's the oldest way of presenting data and constructing pages.
  Stateful means that you don't have to worry about creating sessions and keeping track of data coming from HTML input fields and controls. In fact, D2W is also stateful.

  Save everything, run the app and try to login. If login is not successful, you will get an error message. If login is valid, you will see the blog entries that you created.
  For the last part of this tutorial, we are going to add a link on each blog entry in the list that will bring us to a edit page where we can modify a blog entry. We are also going to add a link to create a new blog entry.
