I just meant that jhat doesn't include its own client... you provide your own (web browser). If your data is hierarchical, it sounds like it would be natural to express it in XML. It's fairly easy to write an XSL stylesheet that can convert that into something that can expand/collapse with clicks, etc. > I agree that some sort of remoting is the best solution.

For the long run > I'm looking at http://sites.google.com/site/simpleremoting/home I wouldn't recommend JSON for large amounts of data, especially when it's structured and nested in the way you have described. On the other hand, XML is typically very verbose.
