I sent this question around but didn't get what I was really looking for (specifics, not generalities):
 
 
I know there are several approaches to take, but I'm interested in learning how otehrs have ported a complex
 MapBasic application to a web gis application?
 
I think that the upcoming MapXtreme Java 2.0's vector java beans on the client end is going to  be the way I want to go long-term, so I'd like to know which  technologies to use on both the server and client side.    We'd be  learning almost all of them, so we really have no preference, however we are leaning towards a Microsoft/NT/IIS 4.0/ASP server and development  tools.    
 
Can Java and DHTML on the client side give as nice of a UI as desktop apps (multiple documents windows, etc)?   Can FORTRAN DLLs be wrapped into COM objects and used by Microsoft Transaction server for hard core number crunching for numerical models?
 
What's missing in the Java Server 1.1 vs. the NT 2.0?  what's better in  the Java?
