Hi All:
Here's my problem:
I'm learning to build an GUI application embedded into a web page. When a user interacts with the GUI application, the application sends the inputs of the user into a database and gets the data requested by user.
I think the GUI application should be
applet. But I've done some reading and see people claiming that applet cannot successfully manipulate databases due to security issues. Some say that I need to use
servlet to access database.
I'm a bit confused. Should it be:
user ---> applet ---> servlet ---> database file ?
Please give me some ideas of yours as to what the flow diagram should look like.
Also, if you could share with me a similar raw project that has a framework ready, I'll appreciate it. I just need some starting point.
Thanks in advance.
