RE: When to use Thinlet/SwiXML

I am also new to Swing but I have been following SwiXml for quite a while.
I need to create a client that supports a multiple document interface and
menus.  I really like SwiXml for the View in MVC and i plan to use IBATIS's
SQLMap for the Model, but I don't know what to use for the Controller.  Can
anyone provide some insight as to how you've developed the event controller
for MDI applications?  Is there an open source event framework that i could
leverage?  Or should I just be coding it myself?  Lastly, if I am coding it
myself, do I manage aplication events separately from window events or just
use one application event queue?

TIA,
Tom

Thanks Frank and Kate.

Now I got the idea.
I want rich GUI in Swing and now sure that SwiXML can do all what I want.
I just need to handle about Model and Constoller. SwiXML will manage the
views.
I'll be using SwiXML and it looks promising.

Thanks for all your help and quick reply.

Bharat

I don't really see how those functionalities or the fact that it is a
client-server app have any bearing on SwiXml. The only thing there that
really has anything to do with it is "having rich GUI". If you want a
rich GUI and you want it in Swing then Yes SwiXml would be a good
choice.  But as far as SwiXml goes it really doesn't matter *what*
you're doing with the gui or how it's connecting.

Sorry if this sounds like I'm attacking, what I'm trying to do is point
out that non-gui issues are being used to determine a gui toolkit. If
you want to determine if SwiXml is right for you then set aside all the
questions that have nothing to do with using GUIs or building GUIs.
What's left are the things that fall into SwiXml's domain.

mozilla is a client server app... ATM's are client server apps...
practically everything is a client server app these days and yet they
have a huge variety of Interface needs.  What are your interface needs
and are they things that Swing is well suited to handling? If so then
SwiXml would probably be a good choice because it makes all Swing
development easier.
