i have been talking about ajax, and have looked at ruby on rails and lamp.
but i'm not sure java is really walking off into the sunset, nor that .net is going to take over the world.
what do you guys think?

Rajeev, Lamp stands for linux-apache-mysql-php. It is just similar to the java world, where normally deployments are on linux/solaris, web container, application container, and oracle/db2 as backend. If you use open source alternatives, it is - LAMP. php for the web part, mysql for the backend db, linux for deployment, apache for http server. Only thing missing is something like EJB. managed components in a pool.
Lamp seems good too, a good alternative to .net and jee. (officially, on java.sun.com, its not j2ee anymore, its jee), but yet to mature.
I dont see java and .net fading away soon ( .net is a good framework, faster but not mature yet. both have their advantages, and drawbacks. )Depends quite a lot on how ajax turns out to be. As far as I have read about ajax, I think the backend server app can still be java or .net, with ajax for the client side, and making requests for data to the server. I wonder if I am right in this last para.
if we think about it, java actually is a programming language , it cannot be directly compared to Lamp. java can run on top of linux, unix, windows and macs. it might be justly compared to php. but again php is just like JSP, the presentation layer. php is not a full fledged framework like java. php would correspond to jsp/servlets. Again, lets see, I see lot of development on Java in India, with .net picking up. There is much less php work here.
