Greetings,
>From my interpretation, i suppose your original architecture would like this:
[Client(SWING/AWT)]<--<request/return report(over RMI-IIOP, i guess>-->[J2EE
App]
OR
[Client(SWING/AWT)]<--<request/return report(over RMI-IIOP, i guess>-->[J2EE
App]
|
--------------<redirect to report server (via HTTP/native>---->[Report
Server]
And, due to user's requirements, the architecture would be changed to as the
following:
[Client(Windows-based)]<--<request/return report(over ?>-->[J2EE App]
Both server and client side are static. The solution depends on what kind of
report your are going to generate.
Solution #1
If the reports are all TEXT, they could be directly returned from J2EE server.
However, the client side is not a J2EE client, it can only talk to the J2EE
server over Socket, HTTP or CORBA, etc.
Web services would be an alternative. In my view, it is good approach for solve
the communication problem. That is one of it's lovely capability, let systems
run on different platform and developed by different programming language to
communicate over the Internet.
Solution #@
If the reports contains multimedia contents, i suppose the service would be
provided by a report server. In this case, HTTP redirect or request forward
should be the right way to get it.

Subject: [jdjlist] Communication between Windows ToolKit and J2EE Application
Hi All,
I have a specific requirement of generating reports based on the USER
selection thru the GUI application. due to client specification we are bound
not to use SWING/AWT for client side interface. So we have to use "Windows
ToolKit" for building GUI.
Now I don't know "how to communicate with Windows ToolKit from a J2EE
application"... If anyone has any idea pls help me in finding the High Level
architechtural solution for the above stated problem.
can we use "Eclipse" for this purpose.... I could not get direct info from
http://www.eclipse.org/.
UR help is highly appreciated
Thanks...
manoj
