SQL Shmeequel!

This was originally written to use Weblogic's T3 JDBC Client/Server classes, but then the evaluation period expired and all I'm left with is this crap! Nevertheless, the applet has three redeeming qualities:
  1. The LoginBox dialog box (which isn't really a dialog box) provides a good example of spawning a window from within a Java applet.
  2. The Java technique of implementing callback functions through interfaces is demonstrated by the Connectable interface.
  3. The TabKeyPanel allows one to traverse through the applet's controls using the Tab key.
I spent a lot of time on the TabKeyPanel in order to make it simple. In fact, it uses recursion in order to make it simple enough to use recursion so that it may be simple enough to use recursion. Sun, incidentally, considers Java's lack of "tab key functionality" to be a bug, so I'm quite sure this class will be obsolete shortly.

Source code: dba.java, LoginBox.java, TabKeyPanel.java

If your browser recognized the applet tag, you would see an applet here.
