Eric, I don't know about the entire application, but I suspect the image scanning / retrieval app is likely not the Java app you are thinking of. Optika, an imaging vendor based in Colorado, sold Home Depot a bunch of their technology a couple of years ago. Press release optika.com Its all windows. In fact almost all of the technology across all major vendors in the imaging and workflow game is Windows based or Microsoft dominated architectures on the web side. There is a sprinkling of Java at times for things like lookup lists. Recently every major systems vendor in the imaging and workflow game announced support for COM / DCOM, in addition to supporting application environments such as IIS/ASP and MS Exchange. One independent Workflow vendor that had been following a Java path to the web announced a new HTML and ActiveX based approach. I think they are going to support both MS and Java. This happens to be my line of business... Cheers Michael
