My last piece of personal advice comes not from fellow servlet programmers, but from the users we all serve: “Please, please, please hire a user interface designer.”
Here are the facts: only a handful of people can be good designers, and only a handful of people can be good Java programmers. The rare odds of one person being in both handfuls can barely be measured with an IEEE double. Therefore, the odds are you’re not a good UI designer. Please hire someone who is, and spend your time hacking back-end code with the rest of us who can’t tell kerning from a kernel. We back-end folks are more fun anyway, in a laugh-through-the-nose kind of way.
