Application Design Help...

[Jack Lauman <jl...@nwcascades.com>]

I would like some input on a project that I am working on.  The project
is an online insurance quoting app.

I would like to use the following open source software:

Tomcat 4.x
Struts 1.x
Taglibs
PostgreSQL 7.3

I would appreciate suggestions about the design of the app. as it
will eventually include quotes from various insurance carriers.

Also, the updates are supplied as a text file need to be updated in an
automated way.  Any suggestion would be appreciated (see snippet below).

Thanks,

Jack Lauman
