Informix and Java GUI

[Anna]

Hello
How do Java GUI features like Swing or Jboss communicate with Informix libraries?
Are there any problems? Any preferences in using different Java GUI applications
for development?

IBM/Informix provides a Type 4 JDBC driver with the Client SDK (which you
can download from the IBM/Informix evaluation web site). Usually that is
all you need for and Java -> database connectivity. Not sure what you want
from Swing -> Informix. You can certainly populate JTables from Informix.


BTW - the usenet group comp.databases.informix (which you can read on Google
Groups) is probably the best place to ask Informix-related questions. Many
gurus are there.
