Hi to all!

I strongly appreciate struts - it a very valuable tool to work with. So I started to 
build a EIS-similar application with much DB-Access, business code and so on... (try 
to work with Jonas EJB Server). But there arer some design question and I do 
appreciate comments on these.
I have plenty of masks with DB-Access and CRUD-Operations. You can make a choice based 
on the Primary Key (or something else). E.g. Articels have a primary key, let's say 
WCF1001, REI1002, VAT-Code can be choosed, Zip-Code, Customer Name and so on. On 
behalf of articels: I am using html:select and build a selection list, but there are 
thousands of Primary Keys and you have to send MANY bytes through the net building the 
mask (think of many selection list in one mask!!).
What is in your opinion the "best" method the keep the selection lists short? Can I 
resend/request the selection list, building new ones with the next key? Is it possible 
to simulate the behavior of - let's say - of the help index of Microsoft? Or is it 
convenient to build short lists with  beginning letters, then "climb down" to a next 
short list a.s.o??
Have I to switch to applets (with all its disadvantages...)? 

I am very eager to hear the opinion of you!

Thanks
Thomas
