title: Jdeveloper vs java/j2ee/js+extjs?
body: <p>i am new to the web development environment, having came from a unix/c environment.
  i've been recently asked to create a web app, which i thought would require postgresql,
  java/j2ee, and javascript for the client interface. as i had wanted a nicer gui, i've 
  been reading up on extjs, which looks really nice to me.</p>
  
  <p>a colleague mentioned that the time needed time needed to learn all these various
  pieces is time consuming, and Jdeveloper seems to provide most of what we'd need
  (i was shown a demo, which appears to be able to generate some nice web interfaces).</p>
  
  <p>what are the pros and cons with the different approaches ?</p>
  
  <p>some i can think of:
  - jdeveloper is an integrated ide, which creates UI easily, tightly 
    integrated with database. (pro)
  - jdeveloper will be heavier? (con)
  - wizard generated code may be harder to refactor ? (con)
  - java/j2ee/js+extjs needs to develop things from ground up (con)</p>
  
  <p>thanks in advance for sharing your experiences and thoughts ...
