Does anybody have an opinion on how widely Swing apps are accepted in Fortune 500 companies? My client -- a small IT secruity outfit, is considering revamping their flagship product, a Swing application with a SQL Server backend. They're questioning whether it makes sense to continue developing the existing Swing app -- possibly provisioning it via WebStart, or, to bite the bullet and develop a full-fledged J2EE app. They have the idea that thick clients are a hard-sell -- or even automatically rejected, at certain companies. Has anybody else come across a thick-client ban? Any opinions would ne much appreciated ... Griff Jones
