I have not worked with Java for more than three years, I have worked with PHP, learned and liked it a lot. In my opinion, all two languages have many legal advantages to be incorporated into the other.
A few years ago I developed a JSE project with Swing for a client that uses Standalone on a single computer. After a while I did an upgrade and added Maven, in addition, this application was initially developed with Hibernate, JasperReports and MySQL.
Finally, the client of this application is asking me for an update of the same, but I only think it feasible to do it if I change it to the WEB environment, that is, J2EE. I have little experience with JSF and have already seen JSP as well as SpringMVC. By working with PHP in a large and complete application using Bootstrap and the CodeIgniter framework, I have a much better notion that can make my implementation work easier, especially when it comes to integrating MVC layers.
So, I ask you. What would be the best J2EE technology to be adopted for this context taking into account my following requirements?
- The framework for building views (JSF or JSP) should have good integration with Twitter Bootstrap to build responsive design.
- Displaying Model data directly in Views should be very dynamic, just like in JSF.
- Some framework that offers automatic security features such as field sanitization, SQL injection, and so on
I'm counting on your help to help me with my upgrade.
