Re: Informix access through firewall

I think there are commercial products that will do this for you, but I haven't looked enough into that yet. Our first simple solution will be to export that data to files and move those the the outside of our firewall (and possibly into some database located there). Somewhat later we intend to implement access to the data via Java applets. At that time I am thinking of implementing server side objects to do the database access. One outside the firewall communicating with one inside the firewall. The one on the inside would of course do the database access, but also have funtions for nothing but the kind of access allowed via the web and probably have some other security functions. I have not yet evaluated how well this will work and would love to here ideas from others. If you intend to use other techonolgies than Java there are of course other issues. kerwin@cs.buffalo.edu (John J.
