If you decide for Swing application, I would recommend using Java Web Start as deployment system. No need to use applets, with Web Start you have a desktop application with all of richness that comes along.

If you have a very big application with tons of options,etc,etc
then probably java application and maybe Java web start is indeed a better option.

If you want a not so huge application, then applet has its own advantages in terms of
deployment and mostly ease of use by the users.

With web start there are also some issues, as it turns out to be really sensitive with respect
to java version and it loads new versions of itself without asking
the client sometimes causing her to wait for a long time,
 so for a lesser application (that's what we usually actually call Rich Client) I'd not discard
Applet altogether

appreciate your comments.
at present i have a working ERP application implememnted in Swing and hibernate. but this has its own problem specially when users need to connect remotely. so i am thinking to have a web version.but i am not sure if i can have rich user interface,i mean professional looking user interface. also my application uses RTL and LTR.

cheers

You can WIth JSF .. (U can use RTL and LTR ) there
>> but this has its own problem specially when users need to connect remotely

You can fix that with http tunneling.

The application should detect if the ports are closed and switch all communication to http port.

>>As i have said in my previous reply: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

can i use only these with my java backend. i mean HTML,CSS,JS to capture user interaction and java,hibernate to return request.
by the way what is web 2.0.is it something specific or it involves lot of technology
