Re: VisualAge RPG, Database Access, and Applets... -- RPG400-L

Paul,

An applet is just a java class that has been deployed via an HTML pagereference. That makes it a "think client" in that the java classes aretransferred to the local client machine (at least once). So the decisionto create a java "applet" is just an implementation question, not aprogramming one. Theoretically any stand alone java program can bedeployed via an applet.

As I understand it, VisualAge can generate java classes. You couldreference that class from within the and HTML page with an applet tag. e.g.


<APPLET CODE=/AppletSubclass/.class WIDTH=/anInt/ HEIGHT=/anInt/>
<PARAM NAME=/parameter1Name/ VALUE=/aValue/>
<PARAM NAME=/parameter2Name/ VALUE=/anotherValue/>
</APPLET>

So, the issue about an applet is more of an implementation issue ratherthan something determined by using Visual Age.


At least that is my understanding.

Well, the applet is served off the same machine, but the user is somewhere
else - off on the internet or whatever I suppose. I have considered using
CGI, or even just distributing a thick client, but an Applet would be so

easy...

If its on the same machine, does it have to be an applet?  Why not a
regular Windows program?

It suggest that because the answer to your question is "Yes, but its not
pretty"

Is it possible to create an applet from VARPG and have it access a

database?

If so, has anyone got an example they are willing to share? Needs to

access

a DB/2 UDB database running on the same Windows machine that is serving

up

the applet.

Help?

Thanks
