This redbook explains how Java clients can use the Java support provided by VisualAge Generator to implement robust Web-enabled client/server systems that access enterprise server platforms and resources.

In an astonishingly short period of time, Java has emerged as a major force in the computing landscape, both as a programming language for the ’90s and as a new platform for the development of heterogeneous network-centric systems. Along with the rise of Java has come the idea of network computing.

Although the term thin client is relatively new, Network Computers in various forms have been in the marketplace for years now, along side traditional Intel-based PCs. However, the Java application designer and developer will quickly discover that writing Java applications for Network Computers introduces certain challenges and issues that must be addressed in order to maintain a functional, robust and user-friendly application environment. This redbook is intended for the reader who is comfortable with concepts and implementation of client/server applications using Intel-based clients.
