thanks for the answer... I was thinking of a more elaborate packaged solution, not just the view layer... something with built-in features, a kind of CMS maybe.
There's an extensive Java contingent on StackOverflow that might be more helpful. Not much Java love on HN.
thanks for the pieces of info.
It's not that much that I'm a java lover, but more that I'm not so a techie... and my very little experience as a developer is only Java oriented.
