It isn't. Java is widely being used for the most complex processes in business. It's all java, and it works.

Just because something is widely deployed doesn't make it good does it?

It matters in which environment it's widely adopted. Big automization companies have well thought out what to use and what not to use.

Also, make sure no SQL injection is possible.

Hmm, just done some reading about this. Sounds scary! Can I guard against this by processing all user input with addslashes()?

Well, as I stated earlier, if handle all the database stuff server side behind a protocol, and make sure the user input is restricted, there's not much that can go wrong.

Remember, the aim of programming is to reduce the capabilities of the computer.

Do you mean like a stored procedure?

:-?
I meant that only the server must generate SQL commands, and that text input from the client side should have a check for invalid characters. Furthermore, sending data to the server should be quite direct, and *preferably* encrypted.
For instance, download the tool "WireShark", so you can (partially) test the vulnerability of your program.
