6 WebObjects Desktop
Applications
WebObjects recognizes the need for distributed, three-tier application solutions
with more complex, rich, and responsive user interfaces than HTML allows. So, in
addition to HTML-based WebObjects applications, you can also write Java-based
WebObjects desktop applications which use Swing for the user interface. These
applications can be deployed either as applets running in a web browser or as real
desktop applications running in the client’s Java Virtual Machine (though
deploying as desktop applications is highly recommended). This feature of
WebObjects is called Java Client.
In the sample Java Client application shown in Figure 6-1 , the user interface is like
the interfaces you see in traditional desktop applications.
