What technologies should I use for my web application project?

[manishchhabra27]

Hi, I want to build a real estate web application for listing properties (for sale, for lease, etc).

Can you help me decide on what technologies I should use to build such an application? Let me point out that I am good with Java/J2EE + JQuery for front end but somehow I feel that is not the best solution for such an application.

Should I store "real estate property" details in usual database (like MySql) or document oriented one (like MongoDB or CouchDB)?

What should i use for middle tier..

NodeJS
PHP
JAVA/J2EE
Python
ColdFusion
Ruby on Rails

or something else ?


I am planning to use JQuery for the front end.

Thanks.

I do not think that Java/J2EE + JQuery is not suitable for creating applications like these, but then also if you are not satisfied with it then you can use PHP.

Java/J2EE isn't necessarily a front-end language... JSP can utilize beans as an example.
