Hello;
I am trying to build a JDesktopApp
The structure of a Session in a web app:
a user logs in and a session specific to the user is saved.(basically).
My question is dealing with a Desktop app. If a user logs in can the same concept be used? I am thinking in terms of if there are many different people using app at the same time.
Just yes or no would get me started. I have the MVC structure setup but have to learn how to use it.

additionally:
I have reached a point where I would need someone to help.

I have app and data base now but trying to connect it and use properties to initialize setup of app depending on a user group.

If there is some interested in helping please contact me.

I guess what I am asking is if this code in general could work by saving Objects pertaining to the user so somehow it could get saved and revisited or allow several people access to database as apposed to just the simple return of strings at login? Again the code is not working at all but is the structure one to build on? or is it not possible
to treat objects as a kind of session?
