Everyone will have an opinion on this. I lean to Java and servlets but the things you need to evaluate will be what kind of web app you need (CMS or something bespoke). How will you authenticate (to AD or IBM)? How do you plan to scale or does it need to scale? What skill sets will be most in demand (front end or backend)? There are a host of other issues you might want to ponder.

Pretty sure the most common answer will be "it depends".

Our company has two platforms (via mergers) MS SQL and the iseries. We will be keeping both.

The boses are looking for a framework to develope a common web application that would sit over both. The thought is after login, the user would be directed to the correct platform. We are thinking of creating web services on both platforms that would talk to the web application.

Just was looking for advice/thoughts from the community on this.
