MS outperforms web ui functionality with more complexity?
I have a swing app that has MS, great functionality. User can enter data into columns. Most of the columns are drop-down lists, so they should be selected from the list.
Can this functionality be easily created in Adobe Flex or GWT?
The second difficulty depends on which value is selected in the column, the other column should display only those items that are related to the selected value of the first column.
Its data is not for the city, but for simplicity I am taking this example.
For example, the first column is the country and the second column is the city. So, depending on which country is selected, the second column will only show the cities under that country.
Not just two dropdowns on the page, their dropdowns in the grid.
Is this possible in Adobe Flex or GWT or any other web UI besides Swing?

ExtJS ' EditorGridPanel
for example?

I don't think you will get this kind of functionality out of the box out of any framework. You will need to develop your specific functionality on top of the existing components.

Using GWT, built-in FlexTable and ComboBox widgets and a loaded EditableLabel widget ( http://gwt-widget.sourceforge.net/docs/apidocs/org/gwtwidgets/client/ui/EditableLabel.html ) you should be able to build the basics of what Do you want to. How well it will / does it all depend on how you create it and how many rows / columns you want. If you want something big and ultra sleek then Flex is a pretty safe bet, if you just want to keep it small (like Google Docs styling) then GWT will do fine.
All GWT widgets support adding different listeners to them, so there would be no problem with shelling actions that change cells just like you do in Swing.
