This paper discusses the information modelling for the product development in an "made-to-order" (MTO) type virtual enterprise (VE). In an MTO-VE, there present thousands of product families; for each product family, there present thousands of variants. In addition, product structures are intertwine

โฆ Synopsis
The programming language --Java, from Sun Microsystems, promises to transform the internet into a medium of secure on-line and real-time business transactions, that are independent of operating systems. Also, with the development of Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) API, it is possible to create secure, three-tier, virtual database systems. This paper deals with the implementation of a three-tier database system, using Java and JDBC, and creation of an innovative, intelligent "interactive ordering system" on the Internet. It goes a step further to prove the flexibility of the system, by using different database engines at different nodes.
