Vaadin is a Rapid Application Development (RAD) framework for RIA applications. I only know it for a few months but since I started experimenting with it, I'm really in favor of it. I see a lot of advantages compared to Sun's Java EE standard front-end framework JSF. First of all Vaadin is a java library, so you only have to write Java to build a complete frontend. No need for a specific frontend language, no need for converters (for comboboxes),… This also implies that you can use the full Java power on the frontend side and that's an huge advantage because frontend code is now type-safe and easily refactorable. You can unit test your frontend with JUnit. You can also use all existing java libraries on the frontend side, for example LOG4J. Another advantage is the fact that Vaadin is easy to learn (JSF isn't!) and to use: it's straigtforward. It feels like developing desktop apps and for me developing desktop apps feels much more intuitive than developing web-apps the way I'm used to. Vaadin uses convention over configuration. No need to register new components, validators or whatever in different xml files. Themes have a default folder and a default folder structure. Vaadin is very well documented. There's the book of Vaadin wich explains every aspect of the framework very clear. On the site there's a blog, a FAQ section, a wiki, a forum, examples with Java source code, … It's very easy to extend. Want to create your own Validator? Just implement an interface or extend another Validator and use it. Want to create your own custom server side component? Just extend the CustomComponent class or extend from another component. There's also an add-on directory where you can download UI components, data components, tools, themes, …

WeWebU OpenWorkdesk is an application suite (not just a CMIS browser!) for Enterprise Content Management (ECM) with an intuitive Web 2.0 front-end. OpenWorkdesk applications are future-proof and protect your investments because the user interface and the application layer have been separated from the underlying ECM system. This separation allows you to continue using your applications without laborious modifications even after an upgrade or change of the ECM platform. OpenWorkdesk Community Edition is available for all CMIS-compliant ECM systems such as Alfresco ECM, IBM FileNet P8, Nuxeo and EMC Documentum. Therefore, it provides a very cost-efficient but nevertheless fully professional way of managing and retrieving documents.

" In general when people think about running a Java based application server with Apache as front-end they almost always think about using mod_jk to proxy to Glassfish, but you can also use mod_proxy quite effectively. If you are wanting to proxy from a HTTPS Apache to a HTTP Glassfish then this article describes how you can do that. "
