Hi, I am currently load-testing my web-based multi-tier site using J3D on the server. I call it 'very-thin-client', because all of the rendering is done on the server. the browser can access this site with pure HTML, applet or HTML+javascript. there is an abstraction layer for the data, too. i am not using a SQL db, but there are no technical restrictions doing so easily. each user session gets its own view or shares it with another session. the applications performs picking 'through the webbrowser'.
please feel free to contact me directly for details. bernd On Saturday 31 August 2002 23:19, Zoran Krunic wrote: || Hi there! || || I would like to know if there is any experience/documentation about || splitting the J3D application into the server and client-side.
