Design Issue

[jeff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Jeff Gutierrez)]

Hi Rahul,

When it comes to 'net software development, always strive to make the client
application as light weight as possible.

With your scenario, a servlet would have been an ideal solution, but since
it's not an option I believe the next best thing is to provide an
application server (your own) that handles DB access and business logic.
The problem with having the applet do the DB work is, you have to make sure
all the clients have the JDBC driver -- not a good idea.

HTH
