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.
