Re: Web Forms or Java??

I'm no expert, just playing around but the main difference between webforms and java (app? applet?) is where it consumse processor. In an applet or application you place some calculations on the client witch naturally will make it easier for the server. But if you use an appserver it shouldn't affect the database. An application or applet will most likely give a quicker reaction to the user since the server will have shorter responsetimes (fewer steps) and you could manupilate small portions of the screen instead of getting a whole new throuh html. Remember that the smart way of programming is to seperate the presentation from the businesslogic and then you could chose different way of presentation for different tasks, someone who are working much against the system might requiere quicker system than the one who starts a big jobb a day. If you have a lot of computers that should work against the system and you don't want to upgrade every compute automaticly you should use html for the less clientintensive jobs and javaapplets for the jobs that requiers more of the client.

I hope that helps a little even if it wasn't exactly what you were asking for.
