Mark - Good thing you like to study because there are a ton of books and online sources on this subject! Seriously though the Sun "Blueprints" provide good coverage of best-practices and many good architecture ideas. For the volume it sounds like you expect, probably you can connect from the servlet/jsp layer directly to the database with JDBC if you employ a Database Connection Pool correctly. Links to the Blueprints and some JDBC code examples are on the JOT Servlets site -

Hi Everyone.
Please help.
I have just been assigned to build a simple and small portal site in JSP. I am rather new to JSP.
(I do know how to code C, C++, C#, VB, VB.NET, ASP.NET, ASP, HTML, XML, XSL, and also know a little Java).
I am familiar with 3-tier architecture, the RUP, MVC, OOA, OOD, and OOP principles.
I want to use the MVC design pattern for this JSP site.
What I don't know is whether or not I should use "struts" framework or roll my own container. From the looks of things, it might be a bit more than I need and, since I am new to JSP, it might be a bit too ambitions. I would like to do something "like" struts, but something kind of smaller implementation, less complex. I am looking for a simple architecture.
(Note-- I am reading and studying a lot, but I want to get the "industry perspective" from veteran JSP programmers.)
(Note-- The site will be JSP running on JRun in Windows NT/IIS5, will be less than 100 pages, will be driven by SQLServer or Oracle, will have about a total of support about 100 casual users, and will be an intranet site.)
And so, I ask...
What do you think?
What do you suggest?
Any help at all is appreciated (including outright directions, links, and reading suggestions).
Thank you very much.
--Mark.
