I’m new to servlets and JSP and I’m trying to discover forms, and how to make my own web form. I know HTML but and I see examples for using HTML tags in the servlets, but isn’t there a more higher level way to just say “Make a form here, make a table there” without getting my hands dirty with HTML tags?
I want to build a war file and drop it on my jboss/tomcat server for testing. Then when its ready to go, I want to be able to distribute that war file and for it to be plug and play.
The end goal is to have a web site with some interaction (dropdowns, text fields) and some graphs that are drawn based on the user inputs.
Sorry so vague, I need some direction in the Java GUI department.
Check out Java Server Faces. (http://java.sun.com/javaee/javaserverfaces/)
ps, I just noticed Wikipedia has a nice list of web-application frameworks for the various languages/environments.
