The U2Logic AJAX approach seems especially interesting. I haven't downloaded their tools and put them through the paces but I've seen it work. Personally, I've fallen head over heels in love with .Net and the Micro$oft integration and power but the rapid response and connectivity of AJAX type tools coupled with the price is definitely worth exploring IMO. There's still Uniobjects out there too at that magic price point of $0.
Good Luck in your search.

Right now we are green-screen with mostly Dynamic Connect and a little wIntegrate. Because our back-end is HP-Ux, and .Net apps are not supported on a Unix drive, a Microsoft solution is not viable. We would not want an intermediary Microsoft server (which could fail) between PC clients and host. Thus, Java. While Swing is tempting, Swing is "rich" without "reach". We do not want to have to someday re-write Swing apps to be browser compatible for remote access. While I am encouraged by DE, RedBack, SB+, Adobe-Flex, and an abundance of third-party tools, for us these products are pricey. The pack seems to be narrowing to u2Logic and JSF. The comments from people on this list have been a big help and are much appreciated.

Thanks. Okay, okay, so we're still curious what you want to do with Universe, JSF, and AJAX. :) One of the things on my really long list of things to do is a web front end for the 'demo' app that ships with UniData. And then to re-do it with different combinations of webapp frameworks and middleware. Lately I've been playing with Sun Java Studio Creator, which is an IDE for creating JSF apps. Hooking a JSF component up to a web service is trivial with Creator. I haven't come back around to see how far IBM has come with 'native' web services for UniData, though. I wasn't all that impressed with the plain old XML handling last time I looked. All in my spare time, of course... -- Wendy ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
