The reason the Equinox system used by NIC requires IE is because of some javascript in there that causes issues with other browsers. What I got issues with is the date selector, which you need to use to filter your bank statements. Otherwise some of the site works with other browsers. And yeah, I also agree that the whole insistence of "use this platform, its most secure", is a moot point. It's more of the builder, rather than the tools...

Actually I was not refering to this in terms of security it was just an observation. I think that should have gone to a separate thread. But I agree with you in regard to what leads to an easy to use application. But for training, what does that meaning developers and testers training or user training. I think a dream software would be one that requires no training to use effectively. Operating an iphone for example gives a nice example of what good design is. You need not ask how sth is done, it like comes out automagically.

I would be of the opinion that ease of use and security has little to do with the underlying engine. You can write insecure, difficult to use software on anything - php, j2EE, .NET, perl.
Ease of use is a direct result of a conscious design effort (use cases, user stories, user monitoring). Security is a result of a combination of factors including design, infrastracture, best practices, security reviews, audit, technology, quality developers and testers and training

Actually I think J2EE is usually applied by most serious secure systems. Most banks (actually all the ones that I know) that support online transaction use j2ee. Another feature u will discover with their sites is simplicity and ease of use http://bankofamerica.com is an example.

Hi Paul,
The Equinox banking system that NIC, Fina Bank, CharterHouse Bank, HFCK, etc use is a Java solution, built on SOA architecture and based upon J2EE technology. Please product specs here: http://www.inntron.com/banksys/neptune.htm
There is no reason to limit use to IE.
