Someone correct me if I'm wrong - but I believe GWT is designed for "single
page" applications - aka swing style where additional UI screens are
dialogs/panels etc. I think the size of your javascript will rapidly
increase as you try to stuff more pieces that should be standalone pages
into panels within a single page.

Subject: Re: Comparison
Thanks for your input Francois.
Nobody has mentioned GWT so far. Is it an enterprise player at all? There
are posts on the web and seminars on how to build large web apps with GWT.
How does the dev cycle between developer and designer look like with GWT?

Well, realy broad question. You should find some ideas here :
http://raibledesigns.com/rd/entry/choosing_a_jvm_web_framework1 and all
around the web. Of course, the subject is highly trollistic.

In my point of view, really bascaly, I would say :
* Struts 2 / Spring MVC / Stripe : nice MVC, "classic" java framework.
Far better than Struts, but *I* don't like the way they work.
More "component / event oriented" :
* JSF : after EJB 2, the new over-engineered Sun tech ... Well, Seam
seems to be the best approach to JSF. The big plus : it's a JSR, so
eventually, it shall be supported/known by a lots of people.
* Wicket : the "web is like Swing" approach is interesting. Some friends
of mine love it, but something with the "statefull by default" behaviour
dislike me (I never did Swing development, perhaps it's a reason)
* Tapestry 5 : really simple and nice, I like the IoC (but I was doing
Spring/Guice development for almost 6 month before discovering T5), the
ease of doing new component.
The big minus are : it's still alpha (and so it lacks polish, AJAX,
basic components, etc), it lacks a big community/visibility, the
migration path between major version is quite frightening (but it should
be better from now).
Of course, it's my biased opinion. After all, I wouldn't use T5 if I
dislike it.
