Web-based language and database with JAVA

[rvazquez]

Hi all,

I want to build an application in JAVA. This application must read data from a Database, and this database must be created with a web-based application.

I am wondering what web-based language and what type of database to use, in order to easily obtain interoperability between: the database, the application in JAVA, the web-based application.

Thanks,
Ruben

I don't think it matters which language you use for the web-side. As long as both can talk to the database. I think you can find some way of connecting to most databases these days quite easily.

I think you should consider where you will be running the applications. The server and its requirements. You could do everything java, java servlets or jsp. Or one of the frameworks. But if it is on a public server with shared hosting consider a less demanding language like php or perl.

On the other hand maybe a RAD tool like servoy would help make a quick application if you are willing to pay the licencing and I think it may come with a database.

These are just pointers. I don't have preferences.
