Rich Interoperability in Java / JSP Web Application

I am writing a website in JSP using Struts and Hibernate. I'm looking for a way to implement a rich interface where you can have more than just buttons. For example, drag and drop and dropdowns that update in real time as more emails are entered, etc. Is there a way to use something like Swing with Struts and Hibernate? Or are there other possibilities for creating a rich user interface? (I can drop Struts and / or Hibernate if there are better alternatives)

Main issue: The organization I work for has strict guidelines on what development tools and open source libraries we may or may not use, and is rather slow in updating the approval list. None of the AJAX things (like GWT, dojo) are listed yet.

Thanks for taking the time to read this post!

First, the use of Struts and Hibernate does not affect the interactivity of the user interface, since both are server-side technologies.



If you can't use technology like GWT, OpenLaszlo, or Flex, the only way you can achieve a rich UI is to write it yourself in raw JavaScript. It would be much easier if you could convince your organization to allow JavaScript library such as JQuery or Prototype.

You can always use things like Adobe Flex for your UI elements and have a Java based backend for it ...



How about the new JavaFX technology? IceFaces or RichFaces (JSF)?
