JDBC, JTable?

My current project is to create a website that will host an updatable database of names and addresses. I have some Java experience, but seek advice on where to start. So far, it looks like it will involve JDBC coding with a Swing (JTable, TableModel interface). If it is web-based, i would have to do it in an applet.

Anyone with database / java experience with some tips or pointers would be appreciated.....

I'm mostly clueless for now.

Thanks.
