I don't know too many books, but I can give you some examples of methods used by lots of people:
1. CGI scripts, or oraperl. This is simple, cheap, and pretty straight-forward. It isn't ideal, but low volumn sites can probably handle it. 2. Web tools like Cold Fusion, NetDynamics, Tango. 3. 3-Tier tools like Prolifics, Forte, Dynasty, Unify, Uniface, etc These sometimes allow use with Corba and TP Monitors like Tuxedo or Encina or MTS, etc, so you can really scale.

4.  Java/JDBC, possible combined with some Java-generating tools.
5.  Java/Corba combination.
6.  Or on the database, you can use Oracle Web Server.

You can look in comp.infosystems.intranet, comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi, comp.lang.java.databases, etc. I find lots of examples in these newsgroups.

Also, check out Sun's website, Oracle's website, etc.

Good luck,
