I have a webapp where I want to display an editable excel speadsheet like table with dropdowns, text fields, and a ton of validation. Is enhanced grid my best bet or is there some other Java framework I could use that would be easier?

id just pick whichever js framework you're most comfortable with and go from there

i'm sure they all have a plugin that'll do what you're looking for to some degree

java or javascript? important distinction.


if you're using java I don't see any point in using a kludge-y js solution when things like GWT have datagrids built in.


if you're using javascript, I'd stick to dojo or extJS

and if you're really thinking of switching to Java just for its native datagrids...just don't

users don't like the extra page-load time waiting for the JRE to start up
