title: ESRI frameworks: java vs javascript
body: <p>I'm about to develop a web mapping application with ESRI Products like ArcGIS Server and Image Server.</p>
  
  <p>I can't find a good comparison between the Java Web ADF and the Javascript Framework. They're of course different because one is a full environment and the other is only client side but it's much more concise and the step to start is minimal.</p>
  
  <p>Another problem is that the Java Web ADF is not compatible with our current application server (JBoss 4.2.2) and require an old 4.0.2 version.</p>
  
  <p>Someone out there has experience that can help me?</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks.</p>
