Deploying InterClient Programs as Applications

From InterBase

Go Up to Deploying InterClient Programs


InterClient programs can also be deployed as stand-alone Java applications. These applications both reside on and execute from the client machine; they are not downloaded from a server. The most common use for these types of Java applications is within a company or corporate intranet, where the application can access corporate database servers on a local or wide area network. However, you can also use Java applications to access databases via the Internet.

Using standalone Java applications to access InterBase

Note:
If your program needs to access data from more than one server/machine, you must develop a stand-alone InterClient application.

Required Software for Applications

In order to run InterClient applications, the client and server machines must have the following software loaded:

Client side Server side
  • Java programs (compiled bytecode)
  • InterBase server process
  • InterClient package, including the driver and all of the classes.
  • JDBC Driver Manager, which is part of the Java Developer’s Kit (JDK).
