JavaFX or RIA desktop app (on dvd) also available on the web?
I think if you design it correctly to begin with, a JavaFX app can be interchanged between web-app and desktop-app relatively easily. However, I've only done this with very simple apps (specifically, Tic-Tac-Toe!), so I'm sure there might exist some caveats that I am unaware of (thus the "design it correctly" catch-all). ;)
Why don't you just provide the PDFs in your current web version, rather than redeveloping everything? I'm not aware of any browsers that don't support in-browser PDF reading anymore.
Is it possible to develop an application easily available on the web that also can be distributed on DVD (installer or started from the dvd)?
For the moment, we use static html (frameset!) pages (generated by xml files), with one difference: pdf's are only on the DVD version, the web version only shows a preview of these files.
Can this be done with JavaFX, OpenLaszlo or are there better options?
(for example: turbogears, and using tg2exe for DVD version)
