I agree this feature would be useful. Another part of the applet development workflow is a way to use applets in web pages - I filed a separate issue 144037 for this. Re support for databases - I must say I don't think this would be very useful. When an applet tries to connect to a database on the server, it often needs to go through a firewall, and protocols used by JDBC drivers typically do not pass through firewalls. Also, websites will not want to expose databases in front of the firewall as that would make them vulnerable, databases are typically hidden behind a firewall and exposed through a server-side application. So, I think REST web services is a better way to connect to backend data residing on the server. (Well, unless you are talking about embedded Java databases such as Derby which run inside the applet for which there may be *some* use cases, though in most cases server-side storage will be needed, which an embedded database can not provide.) See also a related issue 142386. *** Issue 49630 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** NetBeans support of Swing Application Framework has been discontinued => closing this issue as WONTFIX. |
