Howdy. I'm looking for one or more guide documents for JSP/Servlet/? development for doing web applications.
Specifically, I'm hoping to find some best practices for doing modern web application development using production quality (not bleeding edge) technologies. For example, right now I generally follow the Model-2 practice (JSPs, JavaBeans, and Servlets), using JDBC with some db connection pool objects I found on the web. However, I feel like I'm reinventing lots of wheels (I especially dislike manual form development.) On the other hand, I took a cursory look at Turbine (for example), but I found it to be too complex to interest me. I have fiddled with Zope, peeked at OpenACS, fumbled with ColdFusion, and even (gasp!) considered ASP.NET. At this point I don't care what language or technology. I am willing to dig deep, but I'd like some idea in advance so I hopefully don't invest a lot of time into something I'll throw away. If this helps, here are the things I need. o I need robust forms (server, and optionally also client side validation of fields) o Transactional, pooled database access o User/form access security o As a bonus, it would be super nifty if I could find a system that would allow me to train a less technical (non-programmer) to develop and test database-backed forms. (This person currently is experienced doing MS Access forms.) If this is the wrong forum for this kind of discussion, my apologies. In my work (mostly contract), I usually find myself working solo on a project, or being the only person in the company doing development, so I don't have any peers to discuss these topics with.
