Great!  Take a look at the TDK (Turbine Developers Kit).

Just don't call the Turbine User or the Turbine Database stuff and you'll
never know it's there.  If you don't even want Turbine to use a default user
you can write your own SessionValidator.  This should be easy - just don't
do anything about session validation :-)

As long as your middleware is Java you'll probably have smooth sailing.  As
far as multiple screens per page is concerned: I don't really understand
what you mean by that.  You might want to take a look at JetSpeed, but I
have a feeling this is not entirely what you have in mind...

thing but I would still like to have the >option to connect to Database in

Then you just call the database methods and it'll fire up the connection
pool as soon as you need it.

I don't know Sequelink at all.  Theoretically Turbine can connect with any
JDBC db.  If you have trouble with yours I recommend that you take a look at
db_adapters.html (or this was what is was called last time I checked :-) on
how to create a Turbine adapter class for your favourite db...
