>This is really interesting. Can you tell me:
>-What versions of Java (compiler) are you using?

Symantec Visual Cafe 2.1. The compiler is an exceptional one. Extremly fast and the generated code is also fast and reliable. The development environment is average.

This Visual Cafe version implements the Java 1.1 standard.

>-You are not using Java scrip?

Just a few pieces of Java script in some asp pages. Java script is very far from Java.

>-Regarding the framework you are using, what is the origin ( from where ).

I developed my own framework based on the standard java.awt package/framework. Java.awt comes from Sun, but it's a standard class library in Java (ie any Java implementation must contain java.awt).

We also use some Symantec classes (TreeView, TabPanel, etc). These classes are also based on java.awt, but, they are rather poorly design and implemented.

>-Is this framework the most common for Web development?

I don't have any statistics, so, I can't really answer your question. Basically, there are two main frameworks from Sun: awt and Swing. Swing is newer and it was not finished when we started to develop our framework.

>-How can you use COM from Java? Is the COM executed on the client or the server?

AFAIK, COM objects can be executed on both the client and server from VJ++. But this is a non standard Java extension. This means it won't work from Netscape, and your Java programes won't be compilable with any other compiler except VJ++.

We never used COM directly from Java since the app must work from Netscape.

Somebody told me that there are now 3rd party packages that allow the use of COM objects directly from Java without VJ++ or any other non-standard extension. I had no time to check this until now.

>-Will VFP COM works fine with Java?

Didn't try it.

>BTW can I ask more questions? :)

Sure!
