Stand alone to web

[adeeb alexander]

Hi all.
I have developed a stand alone application using swing for a college. Now that college has two branches, i need to use the application on web. Please suggest me. Can i give the ip address in the driver URL, or any other way.




Thanks and Regards.
Alex

Way I look at things, you got two options which will mean minimal code changes.
1) Java Web Start
2) Applets

Anything other requires a completely new technique like JSF or GWT, and therefore would require an almost full rewrite of all user interface related code.

Which is one of the best arguments available for striving to separate UI from logic!

hi,
am not sure of this,
run your app using mysql or any other database. get IP of the machine in which database is running.
set or edit IP, Username,password in GUI app and run application in your two branches.
all data will be stored in centralized database...

are you getting?

This is an over simplification. There is a lot to consider when going this route the least of which not being updates to the application. I'd recommend JWS over this approach and Applets.
