Rich Client advice
Hi all,
Been searching the archives.
I've developed a Swing standalone app and would like to convert it into a "Rick Client" but shifting certain parts over to a backend. My initial work has been a servlet on Tomcat webserver I maintain.
Can anyone point me to any up-to-date examples or Rich Client development?
Is the use of http requests/responses the standard way to do this or are there non-servlet examples?
There seem to be so many frameworks for this (Eclipse RC, Spring RC etc.)
Many thanks.
Hi,I've some experience with Eclipse RCP, on this site you can find some tutorials: http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-RCP-1/tutorial1.htmlHowever I don't know whether it will be the best for you because I haven't tried other of these systems.L.P.

Thanks for the pointer. I will look at the tutorials.
I guess what I really want to know is what do people use as the most "vanilla"/non-framework communication between a Rich Client and a backend server.
Do the back ends tend to be servlets/JSPs or WebServices or what?
Thanks again.
