We are doing three-tier but with Nib files and Interface Builder. It
should certainly be possible to write the Swing yourself, but it
seems like it would be less painful to generate the Swing code from
an interface creation app. There are probably quite a few of these
around, but I know a little JBuilder and IB and would prefer IB
because it translates on the fly, whereas JBuilder more statically
generates code. The advantage to that is that it is more tailorable,
but with IB and EO, you can get at most of the structures anyway and
tailor the swing.
If you need a Swing component that IB does not know about use a
Custom class (chapter 19). In fact, you could probably do everything
that way, just have an empty window in IB with the contents one big
custom class and just have a JComponent/JContainer (whatever)
subclass implement your Swing interface.
What are you doing that you must avoid IB completely? It really does
a lot for you, but others might have better reasons to avoid it than
I do. I think the vaguaries of how IB maps to Swing (GUI alignment
problems, etc) might still be problems you have with Swing (from
comments others have made).
Hope that helps a little

Hi all,
That is where I would like to go. Raw Swing: no d2w rules, no nib
files. No to-Swing translation. I were searching the archives and
found posts that is has been done and that it is possible, but
found only an example of a two-tier application that included
distributing EOF with the Swing application. And I am quite
confused as to how the Application Server is functioning in such a
construction, as I were only making HTML resulting WO apps till
now. I am currently reading JavaClient Desktop Applications book
(Apple doc), but that does not seem to say anything about this
solution, except that it is possible. I would be very grateful for
comments, pointers, or whatever information. It seems to be a bit
of an obscure area...
Thanks,
Flor
