how do i design this in java

[nitinp_biioinf]

Hello all ,
This is what I need to do.

there are 10 people who need to gather information and send it to a centralized server.This number may increase with time.On the centralized server there resides a database where this info has to be stored.
Is it necessary that all 10 should be in the same subnet to store this info.what can be used to design this system I mean what all APIs ar eneeded.



Thanks.
Regards.
NP

why would they all need to be on the same subnet? As long as they can see the server they should be able to do it from anywhere. Chat programs like msn messenger send info to each other from anywhere in world etc If you go to sun they have a tutorial on networking, even make a few simple client/server programs as an example.

depends on the firewalling and network connectivity of your subnet. if you know nothing of the network topology, ask the administrator

multithreaded clinet/server model, or maybe session based servlet models.. or maybe RMI..
