It is not easy to query the contents of a database without proprietary front
end tools or a database-aware IDE. A database-aware toolkit should be able to
connect to and work with a variety of databases (local and remote,
application and corporate) without a shift in how we view the contents of
different databases.
Java and JDBC allow the builder to abstract the viewing of the data from the
implementation of the database and database queries that yield the data for
viewing. A number of IDEs allow the builder to query the contents of a
database as part of the database component integration , but using an IDE is
an expensive option for someone who would like a simple tool for viewing and
maintaining data in different databases.

AJAX and JMX are at opposite ends of the Systems Management stack. However,
the emerging ubiquity of the AJAX model for rich browser clients has obscured
the benefits the model provides in the architectural space for enhancing
support patterns within the problem resolution pipeline.

It is possible to create a very attractive look-and-feel prototype of a
Calendar-based browser application in JavaScript, but to compete with
tough-minded mainframe legacy systems such as MEMO requires a highly
functional and scalable working prototype to justify the continued investment
and potential encapsulation of a large mainframe system.
After it was suggested that an existing MEMO-... (more)
