GWT capabilities

[selene]

Hi everybody,

I have to realize a new website. The requirements I'm asked to be
compliant are the following:

1) HTML/XHTML 5.0 for the structure of the pages
2) CSS2/CSS3 for presentation, style, page layout delle pagine (only
one style for all pages!)
3) javascript ECMA3 for the behaviour( client or browser side)
4) Java Server Page (JSP) for the servlet that is for the server side
behaviour
5) Spring framework for the MVC
6) Java

Can I achive all of them by developing my website through GWT?
Thanks a lot

Of course you can achieve that with GWT.  Note: GWT is a client side toolkit. So it won't help you with the server side stuff (Spring, JSP, etc). 

The question is whether it is not easier to use a traditional javascript framework (jQuery, etc) instead of GWT because apparently you are developing a "traditional" webpage/website (multi-host page with some javascript behaviour). 

GWT really shines when you want to develop a desktop like interactive web-application (using MVP) where the backend acts only as datasource. 

That doesn't mean that it can't be used for a "normal" website but probably frameworks like jQuery are easier to use and get results than GWT. 

If you use Spring framework MVC and JSP then you will probably only use GWT for AJAX calls and DOM operations that can be as easily achieved with jQuery. 

If you plan to develop a desktop like web-app where you have one host-page and all the UI flow/synchronization is done on the client side then I would strongly recommend GWT. However if you have multiple-page website (i.e.: using Spring's MVC) and only want to embed some javascript code for some UI behaviour, GWT might not be the easiest solution.
