JViews Diagrammer offers a set of
components, classes and APIs making it possible to build all sorts
of graphical displays. The core Graphics Framework provides
interactive vector-graphics primitives that will have their own
life cycle and can be displayed in a variety of containers,
including Swing or servlets. With Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and
SDM, the creation of such graphic objects is automated and
sophisticated displays are built more easily. Most of the work
needed to create specific visual representations is the same,
whether you decide to deploy your application with rich or
thin-client technologies. What is really important is to make sure
that:
- You can control the integration of your visual components with the right containers.
- You have the kind of interactions you need for the application.
- You have the ability to package and deploy your work efficiently.
This section summarizes the main
characteristics and tips of each deployment strategy.
