Which Way To Go? (ADF with Netbeans?, Glassfish in JDeveloper?)

602263Oct 9 2007 — edited Oct 10 2007
Hi there,

I am new to the "Java for Web" branch - though I'm not that new to Java and J2EE itself. So far I've always used PHP for Web-stuff

I have to write a Web Application (using Java EE 5 as backend) in JSF. Nothing too fancy - just a statistics tool (grabing data from the JPA-Entities, and displaying it in nice-looking charts)
My problem is that I'm not really sure which way to go, since I have hardly any experience in this field (I did some JSP/Servlet stuff a while ago, but it was really painful)

The application server is Glassfish V2 (SJSAS 9.1), database is Oracle 10g. Since I've used Netbeans for most of my Java stuff, I thought of using it for this project too, but when looking at JSF Implementations/Frameworks, a lot of people seem to like ADF Faces, while the other Implementations/Frameworks (obviously) aren't that great. However I couln't find any way to Integrate ADF in Netbeans (getting the ADF widgets/elements in the toolbox-palette of Netbeans). Using JDeveloper wouldn't be that bad (have used it too for some simple Swing-stuff), but I'm not sure on how well I can delploy/debug stuff in JDevelooper using Glassfish. - Is JDeveloper Java EE 5/EJB 3.0 ready? EJB 3.0 seems ok, but I tried creating a JSF Page, and I could only create one in Java EE 1.4 (JDeveloper version 10.1.3.2.0)

I also had a look at PHP-like stuff in JSP/Servlets (like Phobos or Quercus), but they didn't seem to work that great :\

Any ideas on how to approach this best?

Thanks!
