Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

I realize that I'm probably in the wrong place, because I'm not a developer. However, I really don't know where else to turn for help. I used to work in the web dev industry in NYC, now I'm stuck in Little Rock, AR, and I don't know any "answer people."

I need some advice on whether to use JSP or Java Servelets for my ecommerce site.

I currently run my brick & mortar retail store on a Java-based Point of Sale (POS) system, with a MySQL relational database. It is a very upscale home furnishings/design store, so the design of the web site really matters.

My POS vendors have developed a web store interface using Java Servelets, but since the programmers developed it, there is little consideration for design.

It seems to me, based on my previous experience, that JSP would be the way to go here. I've got a great relational database - wouldn't it be best to have total flexibility in the way data is accessed & displayed?

If anyone out there can discuss this with me intelligently (without totally going over my head), won't you please help?

Many, many, many thanks!
