What are the technology i have to choose?

[Robert Jack]

Hi Friends,

I got task from my superior. I have to create standard application not like small kids code.

The objective of the application
1. Provide the option to browse the excelfiles which contains some activities and save into the databse.
2. Provide the option to view/generate the report - Some flexible manner, fetch the data from database. (Reports in table formats)
3. Future: The enhancement will come based on my design and application stuff.

He gave me a full freedom to choose framework and table design.
So i want to prove myself like i am good developer & capable to do small projects.

I am bit confused which framework i have to choose?

I have experience in the following area:
Front-End : JSF and Richfaces
Back-End : Core Java, Spring, JPA
Server : Tomcat.

I have not deep knowlwdge in the following area. eventhoug i can do.
Front end: Primefaces
Back-end: Spring, Hibernate.

Please give me a good suggesstion.

Thanks in advance.

The choice of libraries and frameworks is an implementation decision; those decisions are made after you have the application design in place. What you posted is an extremely high-level description, that also happens to be very generic. I don't think anyone can make meaningful recommendations based on that. Start with the design - UI, DB, app layers and modules, APIs if necessary etc. Once you know what you are going to build you can start thinking about how you are going to build it.

I suggest getting all your design thoughts on paper as UML diagrams and/or Use Case documentation.

Don't start coding until your boss agrees that your design is what he wants - diagrams are a big help when talking about projects like this.
