Regrding front end

Hi

I had to create an application in java for the attendance system that includes Oracle as backend..
but i dont hv the experience in the front end part. Please can sum1 tell me of wht GUI is basically used to create the front-end. that is only JSP or is there any GUI that can be used as in dot net..?

There are any number of choices, depending on your actual needs and skills.

It is basically used of rinternal office applications. I have to make it web based. And basically what is the GUI used for that?

Like I said, there are a whole bunch of options. Without knowing your actual requirements, the skillsets of the developers involved, or much of anything, it's impossible to give any useful advice. There's simple JavaScript-based solutions (jQuery, Prototype, MooTools, etc.), more "framework"-y solutions (Dojo, ExtJS, YUI), more Java-oriented solutions (GWT, JSF), full-on client environments (Flex/Flash, JavaFX, Silverlight, applets), and so on.

Forgive my ignorance but I havent used a front end application coding till now. So if you dont mind, since I consider myself as a starter, what should I start with looking through for to start with designing the front end...

I'm saying I don't know what a good choice would be, because I don't know your requirements. If you're leaning towards a JavaScript-based solution I'd start by learning basic HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and a JavaScript library of your choosing.

Thanks David
