form templates

[Ngai88]

Hello,
I am asked to add a 'form template' feature to the existing page. These form templates will be residing in a different server or remote server. Users will be allowed to select from a list of form templates listed on this page. When a user clicked on a listed form name, the form will open up and the user will have the read, write, change and save previleges.

The present page has a capability to allow user to go to fetch a form located from the user's own local C: drive. Once it is called up, user can read, write and save. Once is saved, it will be added on as part of the form list.

At this time all forms will be either doc or xl.

I have already got the tables ready. My question is what do I need to do to make it so that I am not getting the forms from local C: drive but instead call to a remote server where all the forms will be residing in the future.
Any suggestions?

Does anyone know of some good reference books or sites ?

Thanks,
Ngai

Are you talking about JSP?
Forms in doc or xl?

How do you get the forms from the local C: drive?
Did you get the wrong bus?

Hi Stefan.
Today I made some head way on this added feature. I added a method in Templates.java that gets a list of form templates stored in the database. This table uses Blob. And then on the TemplatesDBO.java, I make sure the Select statement and Insert statements is working properly with the table. The formsTemplate.jsp will get the output from Templates.java and displays it to the screen. I still have a lot of areas I need to smooth out. I will come back to ask some more questions as I go. For the moment, I am ok.
Thank you Stefan.
