Thick Client and JEE

Hi all,

Am just getting started on JEE, I wan't to develop a Thick Client application that uses some resources from an application server -Database EJB e.t.c.
So far I have been going a bit through Sun's JEE tutorial and I notice it tends to lean more on thin clients. What differences between these two models do I have to take in to account and how can I resolve what I learn from the tutorial to what I actually want to implement? Is there something out there concentrating more on desktop application based clients as opposed to web based clients?

Any advice is very welcome!

Yeep, infact I was reading it yesterday. Good insights there r0. I especially found the DAO link invaluable. I have been searching for something like that for some time.

Actually, I only need to store and retrieve some data from the database and also do some minimal processing.

So once I make the connection to my application server from the thick client, I interact with it just like for a thin client? Without the need for the jsp and servelet stuff Right?

If you are talking about the deployment part then look up Java web start.
