Even with the cert there are a lot of warnings. > I haven't been keeping up to date with JavaWS. If it is effectively dead, what is the best way to create an app that I can share with other users? To be more specific, my current app needs to run on recent versions of Windows and will be reading/storing/inserting/updating/deleting information on a DB2 database (or maybe MySQL). It uses Java FX and FXML for its GUI. An applet or application or web page would all be acceptable ways for the users to run the program. I don't anticipate using it on a phone or a non-Windows OS. I can picture putting a separate local database on each user's machine and then merging the updates together in some fashion but I'd strongly prefer to have everyone sharing the same database. -- Rhino
