Dear Kapil,
It seems that you have got yourself in a somewhat unrelated problem.
Sevlets are a server side(web server) technology and your problem is that of
user interface i,e client side.
It seems to me( from what you have asked), that yours is a traditional
database application and as far as porting is concerned you need to
change only the front end, the back will be same.
To fecilitate this, java offers a elaborate API- mainly in terms of
JFC(swing package) and java.awt.event package. Of course you can use
java.awt package instead of JFC.
As far as your client is concerned, it is really not necessary to provide
applets as a user inerface. Applets are required only when you need browser
based interface. You can write a java application instead.
Now, if you need to give browser based interface, you can always use HTML
forms at the client and servlets at the server end. Of course a
suitable servlet engine will be required at the server end.Again the
database will be same.
I hope this answers you.
