Web applications

Involved people at OAB: Delpino, Lolli.

The need of realizing Web applications has implied a great interest in the field of object programming, with particular reference to the Java language. That in fact presents well definite advantages as one is interested in developing platform independent and/or Web applications. The trend of extending the field of scientific applications usability further on the usual local area limits, making them available for the whole Internet community, is presently well established. Nevertheless that implies the use of complex and sophisticated techniques for planning and programming new applications. On the other hand recently a new interest in applications using data organized inside a database raised up. The different techniques presently available for Web integration of both applications and databases are then studied and compared (Active Server Pages, Servlets, Java Server Pages).
