[OKC JUG] Guidance

[Mark Smith]

I say use Jboss and Seam or Tomcat and Spring. Those I think are the best and easiest to use frameworks for applications in the java world.

IMO, no should ever use JSP.  Ever.  If Rod Johnson is right and using
JDBC (directly) should be a sackable offense, using JSP should get you
night in the iron maiden... :P  On a more serious note, a JSP approach
will either teach and/or require bad practices, or require much more
work (IMO) to handle getting the data, processing, doing forwards, etc.
  Since NetBeans is in the mix, heavy dependence on its wizards, etc.
should grease the skids a good deal on the framework side.

Jetty, though, will require more work to set up, since it is not
integrated into the IDE.  NetBeans 6 *does*, though, support Tomcat 6,
something I had forgotten about, so that might be an option, depending
on what the app is using (i.e., other JEE technologies, which I doubt,
given what has been said so far).
