Oracle vs. BEA Weblogic

Hello.

I am going to create a prototype for a time scheduling system
over the internet to an Oracle database. I am not sure though
what system I should use. BEA:s Weblogic Application Server
seems faster but there's no development tool and Oracle Application Server,
I guess, is more compatible with the DB.
Also, there's the JDeveloper 3.0 inlcuded which seems like a
handy tool.

Another question is what webinterface to use, JSP, Applets or
what else there is?

Anyone who has experience with this kind of stuff, plese help
me decide... :)

Since you are developing with Java it's recommanded to stay as closed as possible
of the J2EE specifications. So JSP and Servlet are a good choice.

JDeveloper is very helpfull for building 100% Java applications, including
user interface. JDeveloper doesn't help for JSPs.
BEA's Weblogic is using WebGain tools (Visual Cafe, ...). Integration with
the app server is becoming better and better.
