I agree with Nick. GAEJ/Grails/GWT
I'd want GWT on the frontend and GAEJ/Grails on the backend. I would use JPA/JDO talking to GAEJ datastore on the backend which I could port to another datastore if I needed. This is very nascent and I have not deployed an real world app yet. But if I was working on a green field app. This would be something I would consider. I am working on an App that we are considering porting to GWT (it is currently a SpringMVC/Ajax web app). I plan on writing a prototype graphing package to show what is possible with GWT. I am writing a series of articles on Google App Engine for Java for IBM. I love the idea of it. GWT on the front end makes a lot of sense to me. I prefer programming in Java and like the open nature of GWT (third party OS components seem to abound). The Groovy/Grails guy just added support for Grails running on GAEJ so if I could put that into the mix even better. If only I could write GWT code in Groovy then I would be in complete Nirvana.
