Re: Slightly Off Topic: Web Site Content
What I do is that I make all my links point back to my servlet with something like serMyServlet?mode=about then I have the servlet process the mode parameter and find the about section. This then runs a method which returns a JSP to the browser. Architecture is always MVC, Classes doing processing and DB access fronted by a single servlet which spits out JSPs.

For example, if I want to create a web sire with a vast number of pages, I would like to have it easily maintained such that if a link changes in my navigation bar, the rest gets updated rather than picking through every page. What is the best way to do this? Do you guys use JSP pages and have the navigation or content stored in a database and then retrieved by the JSP? How about architecture? Are there any good books on this? Any help would be great.

RE: Slightly Off Topic: Web Site Content
You should take a look at the Jakarta Struts project. http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/ You define the urls for all your pages in config file and then struts handles making the links.
