Where would you start in rewriting a client server application using VB as front-end (I guess JSP will take over here), an Oracle database (wich will stay as is) and PL/SQL (can I keep them?). This should run in a browser, it will be an applet then (JSP/HTML?). For the VM, how much RAM should a PC have, we run on NT.

Using JSP / Servlets vs Swing is only a matter of user interaction !
Always go first for Swing is my advice

Oracle can w/o problem have Java & PL/SQL embeded in each other. Not my prefered but excellent, though !

Avoid Applets as much as you can
:-((
Remember what I said :
Swing should be your first choice ...

How much RAM, is not a question ...
You need to give us an idea of the number of users & the complexity of the Apps running.
Is ORacle running on the same machine ?

My quick advise is take as much RAM as you can ...
Smthg around 2 GB is not awfull, you know :-D
then start the envrionment with the

Administrator@CALVIN ~
$ java -X
-Xmixed mixed mode execution (default)
-Xint interpreted mode execution only
... snipped
-Xnoclassgc disable class garbage collection
-Xincgc enable incremental garbage collection
-Xms<size> set initial Java heap size
-Xmx<size> set maximum Java heap size
... snipped
The -X options are non-standard and subject to change without notice.

Before going with Swing I sujjest you evaluate how thick you need the client end. Is HTML/DHTML enough to provide the client-side functionality you need? If so, go JSP and Beans on the server-side with an html thin-client.
