non programmer raises hand

what is the advantage of using java vs a pretty html front end that kicks off back end processes via a comms channel, and have a thin client relationship with screens redrawing on the clent and logic, queries etc back on the server?
thanx,
bill

"Pretty HTML front end"

There are a lot of applications that would absolutely suck in an HTML interface without a LOT of painful Javascript programming.

Note Google Maps, which uses DHTML for the easy stuff, and Java for the zoomy panny part.
