Oracle vs. BEA Weblogic

[Janne]

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.
