Thanks for emailing me the code. Putting a GUI in server code isn't
really the way we want to go, but at the same time we are very aware
that tool support is needed for ad-hoc DB queries, setting up tables,
etc.
There was some discussion of this back in April/May - see Bug #3 in
Bugzilla. Unfortunately, nothing has been implemented.
Some of the original discussion revolved around using a servlet to do
this. Personally, I think a stateless session bean would be the way to
go. You've already put a lot of work into the user interface - would you
be interested in having a go at turning it into a remote client of a
stateless session bean?
regards
Justin
