RE: Drag and Drop

["Clapham, Paul" <pclapham@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Java Swing components can support drag and drop functions, although I
haven't dared to attempt that so far.  Swing generally doesn't run in
browsers, although if your clients are all local (intranet) this is a
problem that can be dealt with.

Subject: Drag and Drop




I am a little bit out of my league here but I'll try my best.

We are working on a new Java application project.  We had built a strong
case
for use of Java instead of our vendors preference for ActiveX,VB,COM/DCOM,
etc.
As we get closer to starting the application project itself the vendor is
questioning the ability to perform drag and drop functions within Java.  The
application is a finite scheduling system.  What the user is envisioning is
that
they have a sales order and they want to move it from one plant/machine to
another.  They want to be able to pick up that sales order object and drop
it
into the new location.  I realize I am short on details here but I was
wondering
how capable Java was at doing this and in what environments - browser, etc.

Can anyone provide some direction or do they know of examples of this type
of
function?  TIA
