Java Apps

[Mike]

I'm learning Java as we speak. I was wondering if anyone could show me an
actuall Java App or applet that talks to a database. Something other then
quering the DB or displaying tables. I would like to see an actual app or
applet with real world functionality

thanks

Try the Vancouver Public Library. It has an applet that you can use to
browse the library catalogue. If you want a look at it, go here:

http://www.vpl.vancouver.bc.ca/general/catalog.html

and click on the WebPAC link.

Having said that, I hope you don't think that applets are all there is to
Java. My impression is that most of the Java work these days is on the
server side.

I'm aware that java isn't only applets. I also know theres more to Java then
people realize and it's used a lot on the server.

thanks
