Access Access with Java Applet 2

[Alastor]

I have an Access database that I want to put on the Web. I tried using FrontPage 98 but the output is kind of ugly. I was able to use Swing to display the database but I was using the JDBC-ODBC bridge to access the data. This will be going on an IIS4 server. My question is, can I create a serverlet that uses the JDBC-ODBC bridge to access the data and if so, where can I find the information to help me do this? Or is there a better way without having to purchase some sort of JDBC database engine?

Hi!<br>
<br>
You can write a servlet that will hanle the user requests and generate the html file to the browser (or communicate a "nice" applet, or simply write an applet). The servlets can use JDBC (native, if the Access has it, I do not know), or ODBC (it will be slower).<br>
If you download the JSDK2.x (Java Servlet Developement Kit) from the java.sun.com (but you can use other servletrunners), you find examples how to write and run servlets. If you find resources, look at the

site.<br>
I have never use IIS4, but if it can run servlets, you only should write the servlet ).<br>
Bye, Otto.<br>
