    <p>I have a local web app that is installed on a desktop PC, and it needs to regularly sync with a remote server through web services.</p> <p>I have a "transactions" table that stores transactions that have been processed locally and need to be sent to the remote server, and this table also contains transactions that have retrieved from the remote server (that have been processed remotely) and need to be peformed locally (they have been retrieved using a web service call)... The transactions are performed in time order to ensure they are processed in the right order.</p> <p>An example of the type of transactions are "loans" and "returns" of items from a store, for example a video rental store. For example something may have been loaned locally and returned remotely or vice versa, or any sequence of loan/return events.</p> <p>There is also other information that is retrieved from the remote server to update the local records.</p> <p>When the user performs the tasks locally, I update the local db in real time and add the transaction to the table for background processing with the remote server.</p> <p>What is the best approach for processing the background tasks. I have tried using a Thread that is created in a HTTPSessionListener, and using interrupt() when the session is removed, but I don't think that this is the safest approach. I have also tried using a session attribute as a locking mechanisim, but this also isn't the best approach.</p> <p>I was also wondering how you know when a thread has completed it's run, as to avoid lunching another thread at the same time. Or whether a thread has ditched before completing.</p> <p>I have come accross another suggestion, using the Quartz scheduler, I haven't read up on this approach in detail yet. I am going to puchase a copy of Java Concurrency in Practice, but I wanted some help with ideas for the best approach before I get stuck into it.</p> <p>BTW I'm not using a web app framework.</p> <p>Thanks.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
