We build web apps that have Java middle-tier using Spring for AppController and Security (and sometimes JMS template classes). If Flex is the front-end, then also Sping/BlazeDS. The DAO layer uses iBATIS (which too integrates nicely with Spring factory).
Then we build either Flex RIA or HTML/JavaScript front-end apps. Do a little bit with JSP and tag libraries, but that's it. Never touch any of the web frameworks. Keep things very streamlined, minimalistic. Even when we do any new HTML/JavaScript apps, we'll model them after the way we do Flex RIA apps: MVC pattern, AJAX (which with new HTML5 WebSockets, etc., has gotten much better), jquery widgets and data grid. Of course both the Flex and web stuff uses css. The general rule has become Flex RIA for behind firewall and HTML/ JavaScript for public Internet facing apps. Architecturally both styles of app are being very much converged to essentially be the same. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
