Thanks elpix1 and David for your replies.

David, I will check out Winstone. It seems like a really cool program. 
It seems like it could work for me, since I wouldn't have to disrupt my 
existing setup. Discoveries like this make me really glad that I posted 
this question to the group :)

elpix1, your comment made me aware of some of the issues I need to watch 
out for. I suspected that a framework might not really be necessary 
since Java provides most functionality inherently. With Python for 
instance, django makes communication with databases so easy that its 
hard to resist using a framework such as it. But I guess Java's JDO 
mechanism does similar things.

Thanks a lot. Take care.
