I would also recommend a very small simple MVC framework I built, called
Theseus, at www.theseus.org. Unfortanately, my job has taken up all my time
so I have not yet been able to complete the web site. I believe the basic
download is 23K or so, and it works very well. It has been used on many
professional sites (so I have heard anyways). I am available via email for
help should any be needed.

You have a method on a Java class executing... you can use JDBC or any
O/R mapping tool of your choosing.  It shouldn't be very confusing.
Just extract the data from the RowSet, build JavaBeans, and hand those
off as the model to the view layer.

It's definitely not a simple example, but the Maverick MVC framework
provides a *very* comprehensive sample J2EE application using a
combination of entity EJBs and direct JDBC access.  It's a wiki-like
image gallery which is actually being used in the real world.

The url for the sample application (the Punk Image Gallery) is
http://mav.sourceforge.net/pig.  I highly recommend that anyone who is
daunted by Struts (which is far more complicated than it should be for
what it does) should take a look at Maverick:
http://mav.sourceforge.net.

Good luck,
