Java Desktop Application For Network users
- by Motasem Abu Aker
I'm developing a desktop application using Java. My application will run in a network environment where multiple users will access the same database through the application.
There will be basic CRUD opreations (Insert, Update, Delete, & select), which means there will be chances of deadlock, or two users trying to update the same record at same time.
I'm using the following
Java Swing for Clients (MVC).
MySQL Server for database (InnODB).
Java Web start.
Now, MySQL is centralized on the network, and all of the clients connect to it.
The Application for ERP Purpose.
I searched the internet to find a very good solution to ensure data integrity & to make sure that when updating one record from one client, other clients are aware of it.
I read about Socket-server-client & RESTful web services.
I don't want to go web application & don't want to use any extra libraries.
So how can I handle this scenario:
If User A updates a record:
Is there a way to update User B's screen with the new value?
If user A starts updating a record, how can I prevent other users from attempting to update the same record?
