Below is first version of pScan HTML mockup. It is using jQuery Redmond theme and jQuery UI CSS Framework is not applied to all HTML elements.
pScan home page mockup - IE8
pScan edit criteria dialog mockup - IE8
The mockup is a bit different from original wireframe. Main reason for deviation is considerating ease of implementation without affecting usability.
Known issues
- margin:auto; width:70%; <-- centering using this CSS is not working using IE8.
Designer! Save pScan design! Here is the draft pScan HTML mockup. You are encouraged to enhance it.

- Java Native Interface
- Pros : Simple to implement, no middle layer
- Cons : No remote call
- Database
- Pros : Both programs can be on different machines
- Cons : Slower because database is a rather heavy middle layer, reader need to query database continuosly
- Web Service
- Pros : Both programs can be on different machines
- Cons : Not as fast as JNI implementation as web service server/stack is involved
- Socket Communication
- Pros : Both programs can be on different machines
- Cons : Performance is between JNI and web service, need to handle data marshallling
For serious real-time communication between programs implemented using C++/C and Java, only JNI and socket are pontential candidates. If we add additional requirements like scalability and parallel processing, then JNI is too low level solution. For finance industry, FIX protocol, a TCP socket-based communication protocol, has been a standard for more than 15 years.
FIX has been adopted by other developers for communication between C++/C and Java programs

Purpose of jQuery Theme is to change appearance/theme of a web-page by changing a CSS file. In jQuery, if you change jquery-ui-x.y.z.custom.css, all jQuery Theme compliant components will change. The reason is all compliant components use JQuery UI CSS Framework, e.g. class ui-default-state.
