How would that be significantly worse than web browser -> web application -> database? Is CocoaJava what Apple supports as Cocoa using Java? If so, it isn't as supported as native Objective-C (I thought I heard it was being phased out, too). Besides, Cocoa development (in Objective-C) is fun. But if you have to access a DB, Cayenne is the best option currently, so it would be a nice option for native OS X applications, too.

If you do not care for the other benefits of the web service, you are better off using CocoaJava with Cayenne going straight to the database (something that has been done before). Andrus
