Hi Everyone, I plan on building the first part of an ERP system for my company and am looking to get some feedback from everyone about different technologies and what I might want to use based on my requirements.
The Database will be a MS SQL 2008 server and I currently have an old ERP system which contains many years worth of business logic. I plan to utilize some of this via web services and write all the other business logic from scratch. Because this will be the beginning of a new product/program laying out the proper framework and choosing helper utilities is very critical. To goal is to have a product that is open multiple implementations. i.e. there could be a GWT program and a seperate JSP/JSF program that will need to share access to the business logic and database. My questions are: 1. Data access: Should I be setting up something like Hibernate to organize data access? Is there a downside to doing this, i.e. performance? What would be the best technology to use with GWT 2.2 that will provide a somewhat future proof/industry standard solution? 2. Business logic: Based on my goal of multiple implementations what would be the best way to write my business logic? i.e. create non gwt java classes, create gwt classes, create dll's..... 3. Frameworks: GWT now has it's own MVP framework. There are a lot of frameworks to choose from and i believe using Googles MVP (Activities and Places) might be the safest way to go for future upgrades to the GWT SDK. Are there any downsides to it and is there a better framework to base a new project on? Will this framework work well with the data access and business logic considerations i mentioned above? 4. Standards: Is there an industry standard for technologies and frameworks to use with GWT 2.2. I know a lot of it depends on your requirements but if we're basing this on a new project with a MS SQL database then???? GWT is changing so rapidly that it's hard for me to tell if older suggestions of technologies and frameworks are still valid and good practice with the latest version of GWT. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
