Joe Rinehart is proposing a new development stack for rapid, RIA development that includes some of my favorite and most used technologies:
- Business layer written in Groovy (Java)
- JPA and Hibernate for database persistence
- Spring for the service layer
- Coldspring / Model-Glue / ColdFusion for the presentation layer
- JMS and Swiz for a nice RIA client push
So other ideas floating around include:
- An ANT based installer to get everything configured and setup properly
- Addition of Tomcat, JBoss, Railo and OpenBD as optional application servers
- An "Enterprise RIA" stack with BlazeDS and Spring's new BlazeDS integration (my personal favorite)
- An automated Flex project template with the Swiz framework (I'm hoping for Mate as well)
- An automated Eclipse project to hook in an existing application context
I volunteered to be a beta tester so cross your fingers that I get accepted. I’m so excited!!
