Hi,

First, a quick question: The options for communication between
applets and servlets are POST/GET, RMI and RMI-IIOP. Any others also? What
is InfoBus?

--------

Now a bit more specific situation. I have :

   (machine)       ------>   (servlet or application)    -------> (database)

There will be a servlet (or just a java application) which will collect data
from a non-Java machine. The machine is busy doing real-time stuff so it
can't spent too much time processing this data by itself. This servlet (or
application) processes the data and stores them in a JDBC (ODBC?) dBase.

Right now I have something working with socket communication between the
machine and Java but this would be nicer in CORBA I guess, so I'm thinking
of RMI-IIOP.

Further,

(database)      ---->   (applets)
or
(database)      -----> (servlet)   -----> (applets)

With a webbrowser one can view data obtained from the database. This can be
done directly (2-tier) or with a servlet (3-tier). If done with a servlet, I
can use POST/GET methods or something like RMI. Other suggestions?

Thanks a lot,
