This brings us back to IceBreak again - no Java, all RPG, native DB access,
etc.
There are also few complicated server issues as is often discussed in this
mailing list. The technology is transparent, with few implementation issues.
It is simply a case of install and use.
For a framework on the client side one could use ExtJS
This is what I use, and I can recommend it. If required client side Java can
also be implemented.

Ext GWT and pivot look very interesting! It is so bitter sweet to see
these things in the Java realm because I know Java well enough to use these
frameworks, but Java lacks in areas that RPG accels (i.e. tight DB
integration, job logging/controlling, tight OS integration). I would love
to see an implementation of one of these with the server-side Java ripped
out and replaced with RPG - now *that* would be a framework!
Maybe sometime next year I will have time to do some proof-of-concepting...
