If a java desktop application from a client machine needs to connect to a database on an external central server (on another machine), kind of like a php script that can connect from a browser on the client machine to a database, how would that be accomplished? I know that you can use JDBC, but wouldn’t the person who’s running the desktop application need mysql connector/j driver installed on his/her computer?
Of course: if an application is using JDBC to connect to a DB they’ll need the appropriate JDBC driver.
Most applications already have a set of library dependencies; it would just be another one.
