Abstract

The Java programming language [1,3] from its inception has been publicized as a web programming language. Many programmers have developed simple applications such as games, clocks, news tickers and stock tickers in order to create informative, innovative web sites. However, it is important to note that the Java programming language possesses much more capability. The language components and constructs originally designed to enhance the functionality of Java as a web-based programming language can be utilized in a broader extent. Java provides a developer with the tools allowing for the creation of innovative network, database, and Graphical User Interface (GUI) applications. In fact, Java and its associated technologies such as JDBC API [11,5], JDBC drivers [2,12], threading [10], and AWT provide the programmer with the much-needed assistance for the development of platform-independent database-independent interfaces. Thus, it is possible to build a graphical database interface capable of connecting and querying distributed databases [13,14]. Here are components that are important for building the database interface we have in mind.
