One Client That Rules Them All

This session's speakers are modernizing a legacy Windows-based thick-client application that has been serving the needs of their business customer for more than 20 years. Their IT strategy is to use thin-client architecture to centralize data, promote reuse, and reduce application maintenance, but the business has a continued need for thick-client architecture so its employees can perform their job responsibilities in a disconnected state.

After presenting all the client architectures evaluated, the speakers demonstrate a GUI for entering income tax information, using JavaFX and a Web service proxy to talk to the business layer via CXF Web services. The session concludes by enumerating the reasons why the JavaFX client is the only client needed for both online and offline functionality.
