You have given yourself a big assignment.

Go to http://www.apache.org and look at the Jakarta Tomcat stuff (web
application server). It is the reference implementation for servlets
and JSP.

Then go to http://www.mysql.com (free database; you can buy support
later).

Then go to http://java.sun.com and read up on JDBC (and a bunch of
other stuff).

Good luck.
