Hi Everyone, I have design question about using webware (please excuse my inexperience/ignorance). To give you some background information: I am working for a law firm that wants a giant database system with a web (either java applet or webpage)interface to it. I have completed the database (thank god) which is a Postgresql database with 80 or so tables. Needless to say the system is/has become very complicated because of Referiantial Integrity, required fields, permissions so on... I have already started on a web page interface using webware. But I have come to the relization that the required interface for the system would be very difficult to implement with html and javascript. One of the problems is that I need to save the input of a form temporarily so that I can go to another page to pick say a contact and the contact page may need to go to another page to pick a phone number. I tried to use javascript which becomes a nightmare. I haven't tried sessions/hidden inputs but I don't think it work very cleanly...
So here is my design question, finally. I'm thinking of using webwares servlets (that connect to the database)as a server sending and maybe receiving XML data to a java applet. I don't want the applet to connect to the database directly because of security reasons also the servlets could do all the permission checking. I think XML would be nice cause I could change the interface easily (maybe try to reimplement the webpage interface later). Does this sound like a good idea? Any ideas or criticism would be greatly appreciated. I'm very sorry for the length of this message. Thanks for you time. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
