I am interested in creating a simple web application that will take in user input, convert it to an XML file and send the file to a database.

Coding wise I feel I am okay, it is just the general setup and what implementation to use I am a bit unsure of.

At the moment I have a JSP page containing a form, the user fills out the form and on submit a get method is sent to a servlet, in the servlet doGet() method the servlet is instantiating a java object and passing it the user inputted data. The java object then writes that data to an XML file and sends it to the database via REST.

All I would be interested to know is if this the standard/optimal way of creating such a web application.

Any and all feedback is appreciated.

Thanks
