Re: Recommendation for front end tool

In my opinion, Forms on the web is not a good choice for a mission critical application, and from my experience, it is not very scalable(although I haven't tried 6i yet). It does seem to be a good solution if you have a limited number of users who need remote access to your application.

My inclination would be to use JSP for a new application, but there are alot of variables to consider. If you already have an existing application with alot of PL/SQL database procedures, then you may want to consider PSP's (HTML with PL/SQL embedded, similar to how JSP is HTML with Java embedded), in order to re-use your PL/SQL (and your PL/SQL developers!).
