Answer 1

Yes you can do this.

You have two options:

1) Create a stand alone java program that interacts with a central database (i suggest MySQL since it's free and I recently used it in a programming project) and install the program in the two offices.

2) Create a webpage using Java Server Pages (jsp).

To do either of these things, learn how to interact with the MySQL database. Learn how to connect a java program to the database. There are many online examples on how to do this. Type up the examples yourself. DON'T COPY AND PASTE otherwise you lose the context in which you want to learn. Once you are sufficiently able to interact with the database using a standalone java program (querying, updating, etc. using command line arguments), then you can try JSP. It doesn't hurt to do it in JSP first but that's my preference.

Answer 2

Forget the how at this moment in time.
Concentrate on the what.

This seems to be a standard database application. Data is stored on a central location. commands or programs are run to access that data.
That is it. Don't get too complicated yet.
There may be other things to consider later like security but again this is not a major issue at this early stage.
