Simple RIA backend
- by Jeremy
I'm creating a prototype for a java web application.
Frontend is a Swing-based java applet.
Backend should be a type of web-service, that is called by applet.
Backend should run inside a servlet container and should have its own security (username/password) database. I know, that Tomcat has its own user database (realm), but the app should have own. Web-services, in turn, carrying out app logic and database access (via Hibernate).
I'm a newbie for a web development and I'm getting lost in a huge amount of the java web frameworks. Even just reading 'introduction' and 'getting started' documents takes a lot of time.
So I need an advice which framework(s) are suitable for the task and not very complex for a quick start.
Thank you
