Opinion of creating s/w for using JDBC

Question

Hi,
Can anyone pls give opinion regarding this case.
I plan to create a JDBC s/w which is used to connect to linux server.The Database that i m going to use is mySQL for storage and use red hat linux 9.0 for client platform.
My questions are :
1) I have to install the JDBC s/w in three different places and insert or retrieve data from DB(DB is placed in another place).What kind of JDBC s/w should i create?Is it just create normal JDBC s/w and set URL in Properties file in order to connect to DB?
2) What is the different between J2SE(in writing s/w) and J2EE?
3) Can i use J2SE to write this s/w?If no,pls give some opinion.
4) What are the possibilities/better ideas(including technologies that i use) that i can do in order to implement this client/server system?
Thanks in advance for replying this message.

Hi duffymo,
I appreciate for your opinions.
Yes i agree with your ideas/opinion.Three app need to update immediate to centralize DB in order to update latest information.I know the important of this.
Can i do it in this way?
Three app is connected to Internet,but i am not going to create app in JSP/Servlet,since i am not that familiar with those technologies.
My idea of creating these 3 app are instead of using JSP/Servlet i create app by using J2SE technologies.Yes they will be connected to Internet,for certain purposes(for instance update latest information to centralize DB) i would use java.net package which set URL that could point to centralize DB and update/retrieve information instead of using JSP/Servlet).Then the rest of the features which are provided by app i will make it offline(features that are used within a branch,besides of updating latest information to centralize DB).
So the scenario will be:
Each app does its own jobs offline(like calculation,make reservation and etc),but when app needs to update/retrieve latest
information,i would use java.net to fulfill the purposes.
My question are:
1) Is my idea good enough to make app work?If no,that means i really need to use JSP/Servlet to accomplish those tasks,can you give me ideas of creating app(overall picture of network architecture,and the ways of how they are interacted).
Thanks in advance for duffymo.
