What is your favorite front end for end users to interact with your

You mean what technology to use to build business logic?

It just depends on your needs. I prefer to use Apple WebObjects for
building web frontends to the db.
Why? Because it is extremely powerful, free if you are able to
develop on Mac OS X (it comes with the developer tools) and even if
you have to buy a couple of Powerbooks and Xserves it may be
cheaper then only the software license for one of the other big
Java application server technologies. You can deploy it to every
Java plattform because it's just a Java application
Is that actually true? My understanding was that under the most recent
license changes it was not possible to deploy it to any platform other
than XServe. Technically possible, sure, but a violation of the license.
That's the main reason I stopped considering it a viable development
environment.
