Question

I'm planning to develop a web based ERP, which should be full-ajax and with desktop-like UI. It will be a data-entry & data-report application. For developing it I'm considering all technologies.

GWT: I saw that with GWT Designer you could create cool UIs, but databinding seems to be too complex

JSF: Netbeans no longer supports the visual web editor

ZK: supports databinding in a relatively easy way, and has got an Eclipse-based visual editor

Some people talk about REST + javascript as a winning choice

I'd like to have your opinion about what could be the right choice.

Thank you very much in advance!

Explanation / Answer

You are comparing a language (js), with a language framework(zk), with an architectural design style (rest), with a development toolkit (gwt).

Have you experience with any of them ? I'd start with the core basics.

I've been building websites and enterprise scale systems for ten years and have never used a visual designer, and neither has anyone I worked with, so I wouldn't worry about that too much.
