Need to use mix of approaches -- choosing what is good and what will last

For example develop Web-based databases with Java objects using standard JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) interfaces
-
Oracle DB2 Informix Sybase, Lotus Notes, Object database confusion becomes an issue of performance/robustness NOT functionality
|
Use XML to record small databases in flat files
|
Use CORBA to wrap existing applications
|
Use COM to access components of major PC applications such as Microsoft Excel and Word
|
Use Jini and Java to implement dynamic registration of objects
|
Use HTML to render everything
