Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!  Java Client is pure magic,
and it's doing what you want, not direct database access from the client.
The latter would be horribly insecure.  All the database fetching is done on
the server, and only individual entity objects (actually, just the desired
attributes) are sent over the wire.

Then definitely don't use Java Client!  It's very much a "thick client", and
not practical for Internet deployments.  See pp 26-30 of the Java Client
Desktop Applications guide for a good discussion of when to use Java Client,
and when not to.
