The comment will be listed at that position in the page. Another user will see the comments right next to area to which they relate. Figure 1 Comments listed next to the related content To view the contents of a comment you click on it's subject line and the contents appear in a new window.

Users can subscribe to an email list related to a group of pages.
They are then notified of any new comments via email and are kept up to date with the latest discussion. They are inserted dynamically into the page by a Java servlet when the page is requested. VBSF sits between the Java servlet and the database and translates object oriented instructions on the Java side into SQL commands on the database side. The Java code is less complex and easier to maintain because it doesn't need to deal with anything at the database level. This also means that any of a number of standard database engines can be used as the underlying database without any changes to the source code.
