thanks for the input. it has to be independent of the browser.
Why? I don't understand why that restriction is in place. Sure, you need a web server then as well because PHP is server side scripting, but there are plenty of very simple web servers that could be used. If it has to be OS independent and Java is present (which is a given as you need it for the backend) you can use a small Java web server like this one: http://tjws.sourceforge.net/
Is the no browser rule something you chose or is that a requirement of the end-user / customer? I find it much easier to use the browser as UI container because you already know how that works using PHP. Since an inventory program is mainly input driven anyway making it a browser based app is typically the way to go. So if you are more comfortable coding for a browser interface then I'd recommend doing that.
