What platform/java technology should I use? Please Help

Hi, I am a uni student and have a final year java project to do.
The project must include:
1. a server side application that must run at specific times during the day (3 x a day) and store information to a database (MySQL).
2. a client side desktop application that will connect to the database and retrieve the information.
I have no problems writing the client side application. However, I am totally lost when it comes to knowing what server I need to have running the server side application and what type of java technology the server side application should use i.e EJB, entity beans etc??? How would the appliaction run at certain times, would I use a timer class? What would be the best way?
I would appreciate any advice you can give. Many Thanks.

Hi,
1. ok if I develop my application as a "normal" java
application does this mean that it needs to run on an
aplication server?No, it doesn't.
2. is developing the app as a normal java app
considered a good way of implementing such a system,
or would it be better to use enterprise bean
approach?That depends on your professor. Given nothing other than the requirements you stated, there is no need for an application server. You can just have a command-line app that runs forever to do these server things. However, if your professor wants you to learn about J2EE servers, then it's a different story. So ask your instructor.

  • What technology should be used?

    i want to make remote desktop type of application with limited functionality. In achieving this i thought viewing the desktop from client should be the first step. so i want to know what technology should i use to send live video type of thing to client........
    I am able to create the video type of thing by taking snapshots(20 per second) of the screen but I am not able to send it to the client.......
    Is this correct way or there is any other way to create video?

  • What XA JDBC driver should I use with Oracle 8i 8.1.6

    I need to use an XA JDBC driver for Oracle 8i 8.1.6. I am using the driver in
    a ConnectionPool in a TxDataSource for use by some entity beans using EJB 2.0.
    I'm running WebLogic Server 6.0 sp2, EJB 2.0, Java 2 SDK 1.3.1 Server VM, Solaris
    2.7, and Oracle 8i 8.1.6.
    I know of three different Oracle XA drivers: WebLogic jDriver for Oracle XA, Oracle
    OCI type 2 driver XA, and Oracle Thin tyoe 2 XA. Are there any other drivers
    that I can use for Oracle 8.1.6? Which driver and which version should I use?
    For example, can I use the Oracle 8.1.7 JDBC drivers with the Oracle 8.1.6 server,
    or would the Oracle 9i drivers work with the Oracle 8i server? Which drivers
    are faster, and which support more features? I assume that I should not use the
    type 4 driver since I am not using an applet, but I don't know if there are bugs
    in the OCI C library for Solaris or in the JDBC drivers that use it that prevent
    XA from woking. Which version of the Oracle C OCI library should I use if I use
    a type 2 driver?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    I think you can't use the 8.1.6 thin driver for XA, you would have to
    use the OCI driver or 2PC-enable your datasource. AFAIK this has been
    changed for 8.1.7
    Check http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs61/////jta/thirdpartytx.html.

    Subject: Re: What XA JDBC driver should I use with Oracle 8i 8.1.6
    I've asked this question before. This is the reply from Joe
    Weinstein:
    For reliability and JDBC 2.0 compliance, I recommend the
    Oracle thin driver.
    If not that driver, you should verify that a type-2 driver
    actually does
    deliver better performance, but then I would not have a
    strong preference
    between their type-2 and ours. Theirs may be faster, and JDBC
    2.0 compliant.
    Both are succeptible to OCI bugs, some of which only they can
    fix, but we
    listen.

    am using iphone 3g and it is having currently IOS 4.1 version,till what IOS version can i upgrade ? please help me many of my apps are not working esp whatsapp.

    iOS 4.2.1 is the latest version of iOS for the 3G.
    Facebook and Whatsapp both require 4.3 or higher.
    If you want to use those apps, either use the old version that should be in your iTunes library or upgrade the hardware to a 3GS or newer device.

    Not quite. Downloading the current version of NeoOffice is definitely not free (downloading the previous version is). The developers of NeoOffice (the most Mac-like of the StarOffice descendants) make a distinction between the application itself (which is free) and downloading it, for which they require what they are pleased to call a "donation" (since it's mandatory, I would call it a fee).

    I only need it for reports
    Would that include the report on the state of the US economy -- you know, the one President Obama asked you to deliver to the White House no later than 7AM on January 4? The one in two columns, with numbered paragraphs, table of contents, footnotes, mathematical formulae, 40 figures, 60 charts, quotations in Arabic, Japanese, and classical Greek, and 15 pages of references in APA style?
    Grant Bennet-Alder is right -- "the real answer depends on what work you expect to do with it, and with whom you expect to do this work". There are dozens of word processors for Mac, from the venerable Word to the no less venerable Tex-Edit+. It would pointless to start listing them all, when many of them might be either too little or too much for your needs.

    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

    You'll need to be much more specific; there are 20 or 60 different kinds of high definition. Some require nothing, some require superfast RAID, some require specialized hardware support.

    If a restore did not fix it, you have a hardware issue--possible bad wi-fi radio.

  • What frame rate timeline should I use for 1080p 60fps premiere pro

    When using 1080p 60fps clips what sequence should I use when creating a timeline that would work the best for slow mo application?
    I read that you should use a 24 fps timeline but i'm not sure?
    Also I have a few 720 @ 120 fps, should I create a separate sequence for that and what kind of timeline should I use since cs5 only has 1080 @ 60fps option?

    24 is a good frame rate for most animations but some people like 30 and for the max stress on user systems and animation smoothness, use 60.

  • What type of restore should I use?

    My computer is properly backed up using Time Machine. I created a partition using Bootcamp so I could install Windows (I haven't actually installed Windows yet). However, after testing Parallels, which is an amazing program!, I want to get rid of the partition and use Parallels instead.
    My understanding is that I have to wipe my hard drive to erase the partition. Assuming this is true, what version of restore should I use? I want the computer to be exactly as it is in the backup, except for the partition.

    When I go into the Partition tab, the diagram and text shows my HD as having 148.73 gigs of space (it appears in blue on top in the diagram) and "available space" being 49.5 gigs (it appears in white on the bottom).
    Once you deleted the Boot Camp partition, you now have only a single partition. The light-blue shading represents the data in the partition; the white are represents the rest ("available space").
    Is this how it should be? I clicked on both the blue area and the white area but that doesn't select them. There is no line between them for me to drag. Also, the "-" and "Options" buttons are grayed out.
    If there's only one partition on the disk, the whole diagram, containing both the blue shading and white area, covering the entire disk, should be outlined in medium blue. The "-" sign is grayed-out because there's only the one partition. If there were 2 or more, you could use it to delete one.
    If you wanted to make a second partition, you would click the plus sign. DU would then change the diagram, splitting the existing partition. Then you'd see a line between the two, which you could drag up or down, etc. The Options button is used when setting-up a new or erased drive "from scratch," to specify the *Partition Map Scheme* for the entire drive.
    Browse Disk Utility's help for a general idea of what it can do. (It's one of the few apps that has fairly comprehensive explanations and instructions.)
    I should mention that I installed Parallels so I could run Windows and Mac OS simultaneously (it is quite amazing!). Could it be that Parallels creates an unlabeled partition?
    I don't do Windoze, but it's my understanding that Parallels makes one huge OSX file that contains the entire Windows system, rather than the way Boot Camp uses a separate partition. I also understand that this huge file is automatically excluded from Time Machine, so it doesn't back the whole thing up every time anything is changed. You can check this via TM Preferences > Options.

  • What Disk Allocation Units should I use, RAID0 or JBOD

    Hi, what Disk Allocation ubits should I use for drives.  The default in NTFS is 4k, is that OK or should I make them bigger?  If I use different drives to store different things should the different drives have different Allocation Units.
    I have a USB3 enclosure with 2 TB drives in it.  Would it be better to use JBOD (i.e. pass throught) so I effectivly have 2 seperate drives I can put different stuff on or RAID0 whitch gives better performance in a single volume?

    Thanks, was not sure if it should be in HW forum as it was conserning configuration of storage not chosing hardware.  Sorry about that.
