Java web framework for easy user interface design

Question

I am new to Java network. Can anyone recommend some useful and efficient web frameworks for creating a user interface and developing code using Java? I am a major Java developer.

UPDATED Thank you for the guys, I plan to go with GWT .. and thanks again ...

Answer 1

Java Web Frameworks may not help you in developing a user interface, in the real sense. You may need to look at the JavaScript frameworks for this, i.e. YUI, jQuery, Scriptaculous, extJS, etc.

However, Wicket and Stripes are good among the Java Web Framework for rapid development. Found a related thread about mostly used Java Web Frameworks.

Answer 2

You can use GWT ( http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/ ). This will allow you to create most of your user interface using only Java.

Answer 3

Vaadin (www.vaadin.com) may be one of them.

Answer 4

You can use Adobe Flex (licensed) and integrate it with Java. It provides a rich set of user interface tools.

Answer 5

I would also recommend GWT. Not only for client capabilities, but also for integration into the IDE plug-in - Eclipse, Netbeans plug-in (GWT4NB), client-server capabilities using RPC help to use a lot of already completed work (java-libraries) on the server side. Integration with Tomcat or another servlet container is, of course, the core functionality.

Answer 6

Why are there problems with deploying GWT in Tomcat?
