I need to create a GUI client for a MySql database. What's the best way to go about this with regards to having different panels for different views and entry forms? Surely I can't create a class for every table or view in the database, so I assume I need to get the number of columns and the names of columns from every result that the server returns and then pass them to the component I'm using, or create components like JTextFields for every column in a table and add them to the contentPane?

Are there any good guides on what GUI's should be like for end user database app's like this? Eg, the "home page" you get after logging in etc. ?

I have finished developing a small MySQL database for a company and have begun implementing the client-server program for reading and writing data from and to the database using RMI and Swing. The server java program is designed to handle all requests for data from the client and authenticate users etc, currently I am able to enter my login details into the client and have the database authenticate me (albeit insecurely). But I need to know what is the best format for passing data to and from the server program? For example in the form of text, or more complex objects?
Thanks, that looks like exactly what I need!

JSP
I want to put the requested url into the includes statement so that I can have one template jsp page with the header and footer etc in it and just have the server include content from the requested file for each webpage, so that I don't have to edit every single web page if I change the name of an included file for example. How do I do this?

Sure. JavaRanch uses JForum, which can run on tomcat.



Thanks, it looks perfect. I have unzipped the forum into the correct directory and the installer page is coming up but it says that I need to have a database already created in order to install the forum. I know relatively little on how to create the kind of database required for a forum.

I'm a university student studying computer science and in the 1st year of my degree I was taught java programming and web development with jsp using tomcat. Since I'm interested in web development and I am familiar with the java language I have set up my own tomcat server at home to play with. One of the things I was interested in doing was learning how to run a forum on a web server, now all the forums that I have looked at such as VB are based on php. Is it possible to run these on a tomcat server? I don't have any experience with php, and my SQL experience is limited to an Oracle database course I did at high school. Any information would be much appreciated.
