Nic,
Your approach is interesting. I was thinking too small. My boss gave
me this tiny project, but now I must make a career out of it if I am to
survive at this company. Great idea!
So, after all the discussion, I am leaning toward ActiveX components
that automatically download and run on the users machine, with IIS on
the server, Visual Basic for server side scripting, and SQL server for
processing the data that I have yet to concieve, but it will be BIG!
Of course this means that every user in the world must have Internet
Explorer. I can't afford to let anyone have that other 'browser'
(what's a browser anyway?) If the user doesn't have Internet Explorer,
I will automatically download and install Windows 98 for them, because
we all know that IE is just a part of the operating system. Of course,
they will have to reboot there PC, so I will order them pizza during the
time they must wait. And if they don't have a PC, I will automatically
order them a Compaq, of course.
(my sequel)
Tim Gallagher

What you want Tim is Apache running with mod_perl, use DBI modules to
hook into databases and a separate instance of Apache with Jserv and
mod_perl->Jserv connectivity. Use JPL to get Java to use your Perl
objects, then....
just use a CGI perl script, as Costin says.
(Sorry)

You can also use server side includes. Or even better - a simple
Perl script.
Not everything must be in Java.
