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.
