Re: Developer/2000 JAVA generation?

I have been testing the dev2k 1.4W for a couple of weeks. It doesn't generate a pure
Java code but it redirects a Forms UI interface to a Java applet. It is nice when it works.
Only real Problem I have with this is that this version doesn't support MDI and My application
is totally dependant on this. Also the scrolling canvases don't work on the beta version.

but good part is the application doesn't require any changes from that used in regular client server
mode. THAT IS, IF THEY ARE DESIGNED WITH THE LIMITATIONS IN MIND. :-) Another thing is you will need two sets of icon files, one in ico format, another in gif format.

I have not tested the server side resource usage yet, I hope to do it some time next month.
I am willing to bet it will take a big hit.
