Hi folks,

I was wondering if there are any daring souls on this list who created WO JavaClient apps for public use beyond the corporate intranet?

I am not very optimistic on the whole idea, but still wanted to check. I am aware of various security techniques that can be applied (SSL, partitioning business logic, and so on), but nothing seems to fully address one fundamental limitation - unauthorized elevating of database privileges by a "trusted" user. A client app can be decompiled, sticking an arbitrary fetch spec and suddenly a user becomes a superuser...

How many people use Java Client anyways ... ?

Not too many - we're using it though and it's working (mostly) for us. The main problem with Java Client is that it's not very well supported, and the translation from the Cocoa interface which Interface Builder lets you design to a Java Swing interface is not complete. Some widgets are translated, some aren't, and the list of what *is* and isn't translated is very brief and incomplete. So a lot of trial and error is required to figure out how to do things.


Still - it *does* work...

-Ryan


Cheers, Andrus
