The Category Grid chooser will be a graphical way of displaying categories in a hierarchical fashion. There will be a top level row in a grid which displays the top level root categories (highlighted in yellow in the figure below). From there a category will be selected by the user.
The categories will be retrieved from a servlet which outputs the categories in an XML format. The output XML format will be retrived from a database table. The Servlet portion and database access portion is already coded. the servlet will be called from JavaScript in a one time call to the database and stored in memory so that the user can navigate the grid without having to make calls to the database.
The only portion which needs to be completed is the JavaScript portion while calls the database and caches the data on the client side.
