Hello everyone,
This is regarding the GUI technology to be used for whitelassi.
I can think of the following 3 choices :
1. Plain old JSP servlets, which have been around for long, and cover
the largest spectrum of the developer community.
2. JSF..which has become increasingly popular, mainly due to its
advantages over Struts, its inbuilt design patterns, large open source
GUI component resources and libraries like richfaces/ajax4jsf and ease
of development. No wonder it is being promoted by JBOSS. See the
Excadel website for a live excellent demo for JSF.
3. Google Web Toolkit...which is also becoming increasingly popular.
Implemented in core Java, the GUI can be cross compiled and converted
to javascript and ajax for optimal performance. It has a vibrant
developer community and lots of online forum support.
What do you think should be the way to go? Your feedback is important.
Please discuss the pros and cons of the 3 approaches defined above.

A decision needs to be taken on this soon. So any suggestions (with
validations) are welcome. Dominic had seemed to suggested JSF as a
candidate technology earlier, if i remember correctly. GWT should also
be considered in my opinion, due to its unmatched flexibility.

Hi All,
I was on a leave for around a month. But i am back now.
I think yes JSF seems ok normally for any web application. I dont know much about what technologies are used in Telecom Domain.
Yes and it would be good idea to explore some new technology like GWT.
Regards,
Dominic

Hi Dominic,
Welcome back. Hope your holidays went well !
There is no preference in telecom regarding GUI. Anything goes. I have
seen systems employing simple JSPs, as well as frameworks.
Why i am inclined towards JSF is, that it greatly reduces development
time and effort. Ajax4jsf and RichFaces provide a lot of resuable
components that provide us with Ajax functionality and rich skins.
GWT has a unique capability of getting cross compiled into ajax and
html code for optimal performance. However, it will have a learning
curve. I havnt studied it deeply yet, but lots of people are using
it,documentation and support are also excellent.
If we can take a decision on the GUI technology, i will open a branch
in the google code trunk (named.....whitelassi-provisioning-portal)
for development soon :-)
If someone else has an opinion on this thread, feel free to voice it
here. Any more contributors for the GUI are most welcome.
aayush.

Do you feel that we should have a GUI design document, that captures
all the requirements of the GUI, its salient features, and
subsequently the design ?
Maybe we can have a wiki page on the google group for this.

these guys seem to be inclined towards JSF more...just like we are.
