Just so you're aware - switching from a Web Start application to Django is a fairly significant change in how you attack some problems. With WebStart, you have a full user interface API with Swing (or whatever you're using) running in it's own JVM, and in Django you're pushing this all into a browser and doing the web application post-back-to-send-data sort of set up.
It's certainly not impossible to make this kind of conversion, and if you're conversant in javascript and comfortable with Ajax style programming (as Brian Luft alludes to), you can do quite a bit - but there's a significant different metaphor in operation. The djangoproject wiki has a number of links to sites (http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/DjangoResources) that include source code. Djangoproject's site (http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/djangoproject.com/django_website) itself is available, and Jeff Croft has made some source available for a couple of sites (http://www2.jeffcroft.com/blog/2007/feb/25/two-new-django-sites-both-source-available/). Not knowing more about the specifics of what you're trying to accomplish, it's hard to point you in any better direction. -joe On 6/14/07, Sells, Fred <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've got a java webstart app that I would like to rebuild in django.
