Dear all,
I am trying to build an applet that needs to connect to the several remote
and local DBMSs (3 remote and 1 local) for data retrieval in response to a
user input request.
Since I am new to this, I thought using a servlet engine would allow me to
do that. But all I can figure out is that the servlet can only respond to
the browser with a message of some sort to be displayed (the JSDK
documentation also talked about MIME, but I am not sure how that could be
used.) Idealy what I would like to do is have the servlet return the data
elements the user requested from the DBMS (just to fill the empty fields in
the displayed applet after the user submits the query.)
Can this be done using a Servlet ? and How ?
If not, what tools should I be using to do that ?
Thank you all in advance.
Jihad
