As it was described to me, the Java client would be very similar in concept to the delphi CPRS client, but it would use special java protocols to talk with an intermediate java based server that would act as a client to the VA broker.

Everything, server-side and client-side could be much simpler and lighter weight ***and the client side would be immediately cross-platform*** if based on Mozilla Firefox and a more direct MUMPS-to-HTTP based broker. --------------------------------------- Jim Self Systems Architect, Lead Developer VMTH Computer Services, UC Davis (http://www.vmth.ucdavis.edu/us/jaself) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
