Hi everyone,

I'm quite new to java, being half way through a one year masters
course in IT.  However, part of the course is an option to develop
some kind of application that people might want to use.

Here is my proposal.  Do you think it can be done?  Are there examples
of it already out there?  Is it really hard (this is good if it is!!)?

Consider a website that needs to be updated periodically with
information about new products/prices or service details.  The best
way would be to back it up with a database? (provided updates are
fairly frequent and any update implies changes to many pages).

Now, It is obviously possible to make a GUI that provided a nice easy
way for non-experts to update information in the database (e.g. enter
new price/product details etc).  However this is not the primary
concern of this meassage.  What I am interested in is this...

Is it possible to contain within a GUI a view of what the website
might look like once any database updates are committed?  I suppose it
would involve putting a  browser (or more than one?) inside the java
application.

Up to you...
