Good Day Gentlemen/women, I'm getting back into Java after a 5 year layoff (literally, not figuratively) and would like some input on the best/easiest/quickest way to implement what I would describe (possibly erroneously) as an "active database". I'd like to be able to do the following: - Have my application query a table, say employee and select the employee id, name, address and salary. - Once my application updates the employee's salary, I'd like to be able to notify (broadcast) a message to all the other instances of my application that the salary has been updated. This might be a servlet based web app or multiple running instances of a java application.
My question is what's the best/easiest framework to adopt to meet this objective. Do I need Jackrabbit, EJB, Hivemind, Spring, none of the above? Thanks so much. Alex Waltrip
