Have you checked out the preexisting Ecommerce systems, like Ubercart?
I need to upgrade an ecommerce site that serves a virtual company. It
actually does more than ecommerce. None of us are in the same
community. We are spread to the winds. So we rely on the web to make
it happen. Our current solution was written in PHP 4 by someone
else. I upgrade it to PHP 5 about 4 years ago. It is full of patches,
some old code and some new. Part is MVC and other parts have HTML and
PHP mixed together with DB code. It is time to do a complete makeover
and add a ton of functionality. I've been looking at CodeIgniter for
the project. However Java has jumped up on my radar again. I say
again, because I have studied and played with Java multiple times over
the past 10 or 12 years.
As I think about this, I think we can use Java to do the web app, and
potentially create a desktop app to allow the operations folks to have
access with an app that runs on their Win or MAC PC's. Potentially
maybe even a smart device app.
Any thoughts are always appreciated.

The question I have is what you are doing. If it is small with few
hits and non stateful data use PHP or even rails. If you are doing
an massively scaled ecommerce site then you use java. It is a
matter of which does what better. As for the individual thinking
java was client side, I suggest that perhaps you are thinking java
script not java. Java is server side and processed tomcat or jboss.
Personal I like java :)

Hi,
I am in the process of planning a web project. I'm thinking
possibly using Java. To this point I have done all my web
projects using PHP. I know there will be a learning curve.
My main question is the availability of Java programmers. It
seems there is a lot of PHP talent available for PHP
projects. I like that there is a lot of availability of PHP
programmer because that makes my apps supportable if I move on
or am otherwise not available.
I have not met a lot of Java programmers, so I assume they are
not available the same way PHP programmers are. In other
words I think I can visit Gang Plank HQ and find a hand full
of PHP programmers that I would fee good about pulling into a
project. I'm not sure I can say the same with Java
programmers, however I have not paid much attention when it
comes to Java programmers.
You thoughts are much appreciated!!
