- Why (almost) every Web site needs an RDBMS by David Mertz - [Clicks: 10]
When your Web application reaches a certain size, it needs a good database design behind it. And in fact, this "certain size" is much smaller than almost every small-site developer thinks. Relational Data Base Management Systems (RDBMSes) need not be restrictive or over-architected, as their bad reputation sometimes brings developers to fear. A bit of thought toward what your site does quickly turns into a sensible schema design, and it is easy to leave open expandable storage mechanisms like a configuration table within an RDBMS back end.

Regardless of what sort of Content Management System or Web application framework you might use to develop your Web site, there are some basics you should cover. A sophisticated user interface and rich content is great to have, but before you get to that, you should provide the basic files that users anticipate finding and that tell both humans and machines what your site does.

Continuations refer to a functional programming technique that allows you to save the current execution state of a thread, with the possiblity of suspending and later resuming execution. Continuations have been incorporated into several Web application frameworks, including RIFE and WebWork. In this interview with Artima, RIFE project founder Geert Bevin discusses how continuations can simplify complex workflows, and how they are implemented in RIFE.

This document takes you through the basics of creating reusable components and assembling them into a web application. Each component consists of a Java class and an HTML file. The framework that allows you to develop your application in this way is called Wicket. In addition to its component-based approach, a distinguishing feature of Wicket is the absence of XML configuration files. Instead of an XML configuration file, you use a Java class for application-wide settings, such as the identification of a home page.
