I'm planning on using Apache torque as my object-relational mapper (ORM), and I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions around what framework to use for presentation layer with torque. maybe Spring?
I don't know if this helps, but my application is basically going to be bunch of forms to input data and based on that data, I'll generate reports in form of a graph or chart.
If your application is web-based then CSS/XHTML/JQuery & Spring MVC has always worked out great for me, otherwise, if it's thick-client, Swing.
Incidentally, if you get you 'separation-of-concerns' right your choice of ORM should have no impact what presentation layer you use.
I'd also advise using Hibernate rather than Torque, it is, from my perspective at least, practically a defacto standard nowadays, which translates into many more production hours and a lot of people to help when you run into issues.
