I'm also interested in suggestions for web-frameworks. However I don't
want to hijack Mark's question.
We are currently using PHP to build a set of web pages to interface to
MySQL, but it is likely that it will have to talk to some legacy
databases. Is PHP likely to be able to do that or is it SQL only for DB
support?
Is JavaServlets a better way to go than PHP? I've done some (don't stone
me for this) ASP.Net with C# in the past for web pages and that was very
easy to put together good web-interfaces, but the produced web-pages can
get massive without care being taken.
There are a lot of other possible environments.
Is anyone doing web-page/framework stuff in non-interpreted languages
(perhaps for reasons of speed of execution?) and is this even likely to
be necessary? (I know that depends a lot on what exactly you are doing,
but some stories would be good.)
Thanks

I have an application which will require some offline data processing

Although Windows (and probably Win+IE) will be the typical userbase, I
want to ensure that the plugin is cross-platform, certainly to the point
of working in Firefox, but preferably to allow multi-OS use.
Therefore Java (which I've never used) springs to mind. Any other
suggestions? If Java, any suggestions for where I should get started?
[The app will need to pull CSV-based log files from an embedded web
server on a device and manipulate them, minimally generating a
min/max/average report over specified time periods and ideally having
the capability to show information graphically. It will be "served" by
the embedded web server, but that webserver is not capable of doing
anything helpfule server-side.]
