If you're not already Java literate and/or forced to use Java-based  
technology you should also be looking at PHP.  Meets all of your  
requirements as far as direct support for the database etc. Lot of  
very sophisticated frameworks and Grails-like tools, and is far easier  
to learn than Java for most RPGers.
