Help i need an advice
Hello.
We are going to develop a managment software that works via web. But this software is not a simple managment software because it has to include an 2d/3d editor (cad like). So we need:
- a database that works in a server
- an application that works in a client machine. This application is a 2d/3d cad that could write/read in the server db.
What do u think is the best java technology(web start, j2ee....)?
Thank so much and sorry for my english

This type of question is difficult to answer. Without knowing all the application requirements it is tough to suggest solutions and I'm not sure anyone would be willing to digest all your requirements if you were to post them. Having said that it sounds like you are going to have a thick client capable of rendering 2d/3d images. It also sounds like the thick client will have to retrieve/store data in a central DB. You could certainly use J2EE for this but it may be a bit heavy handed. If the client simply needs access to a DB then using JDBC from the client to interact with the DB may be sufficient. Since you have a thick client, using web start would be a great way to distribute your app. Others may think differently.
