Desktop Application to Applet?

[Silversurfer20]

I have written a desktop application which accesses a database using an ODBC connection and then allows the user to browse and query data through a two-window GUI Interface. However having to deploy and install the application to every computer on which it might be used doesn't seem ideal. Could making it into an applet allow a user to log into it online from anywhere? And if so where do I begin to convert it into an applet, as I have never worked with them before. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

if you have good architecture a your app, it will do very easy. I think you can use any web mvc frameworks. for example Spring or Struts. or just jsp and servlets.
