Possible use case for Datatable with HSQLDB

koopa

Hello everybody!
Thank you Allan for this mega-wonderful plugin! I succesfully used it before on an intranet project to quickly show and search files inside a specific folder.
Now I have to build a webapp just to show all rows of a table on a db. The app need no user access, everyone going to ip_adress/app can see the table loaded with datatables and, possibly, edit or insert new rows, all from this page.
The problem is the back end. I want to use HSQLDB and its java API to work with it.
The point I need to solve is: can I do it? What I'm thinking of is:
HSQLDB and Java logic and... the presentation part, with few pages for CRUD, all living in my war inside a tomcat 7.

What do you think?

Sounds fair. The backend environment really makes no difference at all to DataTables - you can use any database or programming languages you want, as long as it sends data to DataTables in a format that DataTables understands (i.e. JSON for Ajax, or plain HTML for DOM sourced table).
