hi
u can use servlet code to access oracle database...but for an application
to perform fastly...you have to use connection pooling in which a pool of
connection will be there and whenever any servlet need connection to the
database...a connection object will be provided from the pool and releived
whenever that connection is idle. initially for testing purpose you can
use connection with db in every pages.
you can also use applet to pass info to the servlet using the object
streams.
XML is something like temp data storage file.if you want the data to be in
a particular format for presentation in the browser, then you can go for
XML for which you need seperate parser(process software).
regards
zulfi
