Hello !

Im gonna start a new Web Project next Month and im wondering which Frameworks suits best for me and has the best opportunities in the Future. Im stuck between Google Webtoolkit and Java Server Faces.

Can you give me any advice what i should learn ? Which one has the brighter Future ?

I like what i read about GWT so far very much

Thank you

Both are different programming model. Why not trying building something trivial in both to get the taste of each and see which suits you?

i´ve read a short tutorial on both and i really like the GWT for its similarities with the swing programming model. I dont want to code in javascript if i dont have to..

do you think gwt has a bright future ? maybe brighter than jsf ?

I can't predict the future. However GWT/JSF are heavily used in the industry and it is easy to get help when needed and both enjoy a lot of books.
