Hi Dr.Evil, have you had a look on the jakarta-struts project? At a first glance it may look a little bit complicated, but it implements a MVC approach and could possibly deliver a bunch of already written code for your project. Getting started is very easy, it's sufficient to place (one of) the example WARs into tomcat (4.*) webapps.
