I'm planning to develop a web based ERP, which should be full-ajax and

- GWT: I saw that with GWT Designer you could create cool UIs, but
databinding seems to be too complex
- JSF: Netbeans no longer supports the visual web editor
You do not want to use WYSIWYG for creating JSF web apps
anyway.
- ZK: supports databinding in a relatively easy way, and has got an
Eclipse-based visual editor
- Some people talk about REST + javascript as a winning choice
I'd like to have your opinion about what could be the right choice.
I would say that:
- if you want a traditional web app with AJAX functionality and
you know Java, then JSF with Richfaces is a very good choice
- if you want to write an app that run client side in the browser
then you should pick GWT or Flex
- if you have plenty of resources with standard skills
the jQuery possible with something on top of it plus
REST services could be a good solution
(I don't know ZK)
