Conducted various thorough research on how to implement the above said requirement and identified that JSF and Ajax are the best 2 technologies that are required to implement the requirements due to following advantanges. 1) JSF lifecycle is not tied to the request-response cycle. 2) You can map screen components to individual beans, in Struts you have to map to the Form class. 3) It is open source and readily available.

4) It supports development using Java Language, which is object oriented and have proven track record for implementations at various client projects.
