Re: Opinions: client, embedded offline database and synchrony with backend

Alex and others,

Indeed, I understand your suggestions. In doing a bit of reading these
past few days, I have crystallized my needs. What I want is a Java-based
smart client with an embedded database because:

1. clients need to work offline
2. clients need to upload records to backend when online (synchronization is
not needed, merely the ability to upload new or changed records via simple
sql queries; i.e. the client need not receive anything in the way of data
from the backend)
3. from my perspective, being able to push UI updates or announcements from
an application server is certainly attractive

Can anyone point me in a direction where something like this can be done. I
came across Servoy (www.servoy.com), which is exactly the sort of thing I
would like to use because of its simplicity, but the offline smart client
capabilities mention using that development package are cryptically
described at best.
