I am looking to create a SaaS application with several tenants to create and manage domain specific content (sort of like a CMS, but very domain specific). This application will support some basic workflow (change approval process) and possible (in the future, not now) integration with legacy enterprise identity management (LDAP or A / D) solutions.
I come from the Java / J2EE background (I'm a former Oracle / BEA), however I was recently included in RoR as well as Grails. Did nothing with Spring, but this is also an option.
Despite the fact that, given the very high-level description of what I'm trying to achieve, what framework best suits my needs (for the least amount of pain!)? I know Java, I could do this using a pure java structure, however I really like the convention or configuration that I see with RoR. I just don't know if RoR can satisfy my potential enterprise integration needs. My experience with RoR is very limited - I just found out about it now. Most of my development knowledge is related to Java. I have no problem shifting gears and learning another language.
with that being said, I read quite a lot of Q / As here about grails vs RoR vs Java (Spring, JSF, etc.) and my head is spinning.
