title: Java Web Application with .NET Database
body: <p>I was wondering if I could get some advise/suggestions if anyone has experience with the following situation. </p>
  
  <p>So I want to develop a java web app that "talks" with a database that is already built out in .NET. I have experience coding java web apps in eclipse that talked to MySQL DBs so I don't think the database language is that concerning. </p>
  
  <p>What methods would you go about to implement this? Are there certain programs that are more useful than others? What frameworks should I use? Also, examples that I found on the web seem so dated style wise, are there things I can do to web apps coded in eclipse to give it some pop?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance</p>
