OT - Really?

[drewjensen]

JavaFX!

Well....50 guys according to MM.will 'Git -r- Done'..UhRah as they say
in the Corps.
I see IBM email address more on the mailing lists however, JavaFX
Symphony?...nah, that's not gonna happen. My guess anyway.

Anyway I kind of sort of, vaguely remember something from some
management training seminar about writing down the first word that came
to mind when first a proposal is heard..
Gutsy.

So does Base go to XForms for the embedded forms finally :>)

Hey - just asking...

Exhibiting terrible old usenet type style yet- again -I'll go ahead and
just keep on thinking out loud.

So what did 'Show me what a spread sheet in JavaFX would look like.' (or
words to that effect, paraphrasing there from a presentation at JavaOne)

&

What would Base be like if one took the UI change that far?

My first thought runs towards JavaFX wrapper around the data access API.
I;m not talking about a replacement for the current Base document interface.

I'm thinking of a set of JavaFX widgets that would interact with OOo
datasets for presentation data.

Two further thoughts come to mind
1) The dataset (dataform, resultset) objects could be running on the
local machine.
1.a) still essentially C/S by having this set of javaFX widgets include
connection management

2) The daaset objects running on a OO.o headless instance on a remote
server
2.a) move connection management to a server side widget (or ?? )

"for presentation data"?
- again if one did not replace the current Basedocument interface but
augmented the package:
- Offer design using the full desktop package and add a JavaFX runtime
engine.

Well that's it from the peanut gallery.

Just a small comment, there is a spreadsheet in Dojo toolkit you can
implement right now. Using OOoCalc as the background engine.
