Pure Java or oracle webforms?

[Umberto Michelucci]

Hi All,
I am writing in hope for help :-)

We (two developers) are beginning to work on a medium sized project
and we have to decide which technology to use.

We must develop an internet application and we have the choice
between:

- Pure Java
- Oracle webforms

We have extensive experience with Java but almost none with webforms
(PL/SQL and oracle are no problem).

Can someone with experience with both highlight for me the advantages
and disadvantages of the two technologies?

Thanks in advance,

Umberto

Forget Java. Too much effort for too little return.

Take a serious look at HTML_DB and PHP5.

Lack of security
Lack of scalability
Lack of performance
Dependence on Windows

First four reasons I can think of.

I've no doubt you have a point but what it is escapes me.

Struts
Hibernate
ADF

It doesn't matter. Most Java based projects don't need Java
and would cost less if coded in the appropriate front-end
tool.
