StarView is the user interface to the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Data Archive. It supports queries to the archive catalog, submission of retrieval requests to the archive, data preview, and other archive-related functions. This paper looks at the effort to make a more flexible and adaptive user interface for generating ad hoc queries and customizable data views. We discuss the user interaction with the customizable form and describe the use of Java Foundation Classes in implementation of the Model View Controller for navigating the HST data archive.
