There is so much out there that I'm not sure where to
begin.  I see alot of postings for MySQL and Hibernate, is that the way
to go?

My desire is to create a web app that is lightweight, easy to implement
and can be hosted on a public host somewhere.  Is this possible?

You may find it worth your while to look at Eclipse as an IDE, as an alternative to NetBeans.

Also, MySQL is a perfectly good database system, despite the disparaging comments made elsewhere. It provides transactional tables for those mission-critical applications that require them, and that includes foreign key constraints and the whole range of transaction isolation levels.

MySQL is a heck of a lot easier to set up and start working with than PostgreSQL (which is, notwithstanding, also an excellent database system) and Oracle.

Look at Paul DuBois's book on MySQL as a starting point for that part of your system, and the O'Reilly books on servlet programming and JDBC for the other aspects.
