Answer 1

Don’t go for low level programming like Sockets etc. Use RMI. Your program will have following two entities

1. Server side :
   • An RMI Client for calling client machine to send update after checking the database
2. Client side :
   • An RMI server application listening for Server update requests and do processing.

If you are new to RMI check out this tutorial . You can search for better tutorials if don’t find these good enough :).
