Sin: For what it's worth, this is definitely my approach after having spent
a lot of time with applets. Servlets are a very different kind of thing, but
once you get the hang of it can be made (IMHO) to run much faster than even
very thin-client applets.

Subject: Re: From Applets to Servlets
Hi,
I am wondering about the same thing. Would it be faster if we had
built
our Order Entry System in Servlets/HTML rather that using JRunner. JRunner
is a
Java Application that comes with SilverStream Application Server product.
It
downloads all the client class files and run your Java application on the
client machine. The Order Entry main form is very slow in performance. I
am
guessing one of the reason may be due to the power of client machine. If
the pc
is slow to begin with, it will be slow to run any Java App. Right?
So would servlets be appropriate for application like an order entry
app?
I guess you can do all your data entry validation on the server side with
some
help with JavaScript. But I agree with Cezar on avoiding the use of
Applets.
What do you think?

Hi,
Send the same question at APPLET-INTEREST or SWING e-mail lists and you
will
get the opposite answer.
Well my opinion is to use servlets and as avoiding as possible client-side
java.
But in your case .... rewriting an already existing application,
should be the last solution to choose.
Try first to update the java engine,
you will hopefully accelerate Netscape's java with some JDK1.1 engine update
for Netscape, available at Sun, and using <OBJECT ..> tags instead of
<APPLET ..>
Redesigning a complex application from swing to servlet+html can be a
long-term, tedious task.
There are some real advantages - like faster responses to
remote users on slow lines, smaller number of total database connections,
smaller resources required for client stations, hopefully simpler
development if used with proper template-engines, database pools and
others...
Cezar.
