228.0. "Is Java a good coffee?" by CADSYS::BOGDANOV () Wed May 14 1997 15:33

Hi,
	I'm looking forward to design a window-based application for Dunix and
NT (and probably, windows 95). I'm thinking about Java as a way to create a
portable gui. I know nothing about the matter.  Therefore, can anybody put here
a comment about Java's capability to serve as callable gui interface?
	I'm also looking for recommendations about good publications on Java
topics.

	Hi Serge, you may want to have a look on an Intranet Solution designed and implemented in Java for Bayer. It allows them to search for pharmaceutical documents in Full Text Databases (Trip) and to display the results in Text format. In addition special Trip DBs contain an index to an Image Archiving System. If a document was retrieved in such database its pages can be displayed page by page in the Browser (utilizing a Tiff-Plugin). Browse with a java-capable Browser to: http://coeasy.coo.dec.com/easyweb.html (this page is work-in-progress, you might experience problems retrieving images, but the GUI itself should work) You'll find three options Simple Query (Image Search) Advanced Query (Image Search) Query Alice (Text Only Search in Trip-Demo Database "Alice in Wonderland") All of the search forms are displayed from the same applet! The different look an behaviour of the forms is defined completely in the HTML Source (Try in Browser: View->Document Source). More forms can be added or modified by editing the HTML-Source. You'll find Trip-Username and -Password and search criteria already filled in. This is, IMHO, a simple demonstration of a configurable GUI with the look and feel of a traditional windowing GUI. It is programmed using JDK V1.0 -- V1.1 offers more functionality to build GUIs more sophisticated and fancy. Bert Oberholz P.s.: Don't miss the About-Box ;-)

Hi Serge,

you may want to have a look on an Intranet Solution designed and implemented 
in Java for Bayer. It allows them to search for pharmaceutical documents in 
Full Text Databases (Trip) and to display the results in Text format. 

In addition special Trip DBs contain an index to an Image Archiving System. If 
a document was retrieved in such database its pages can be displayed page by 
page in the Browser (utilizing a Tiff-Plugin).

Browse with a java-capable Browser to:

	http://coeasy.coo.dec.com/easyweb.html

(this page is work-in-progress, you might experience problems retrieving
images, but the GUI itself should work)

You'll find three options 

	Simple Query    (Image Search)
	Advanced Query  (Image Search)
	Query Alice     (Text Only Search in Trip-Demo Database 
                         "Alice in Wonderland")

All of the search forms are displayed from the same applet! The different
look an behaviour of the forms is defined completely in the HTML Source
(Try in Browser: View->Document Source). More forms can be added or modified 
by editing the HTML-Source.

You'll find Trip-Username and -Password and search criteria already filled in.

This is, IMHO, a simple demonstration of a configurable GUI with the
look and feel of a traditional windowing GUI.

It is programmed using JDK V1.0 -- V1.1 offers more functionality to 
build GUIs more sophisticated and fancy.
