How to make stock inventory web based service..?

I want to make an application for my dad to keep track of stock trading inventory. He trades shar开发者_运维百科es for himself and for his clients and would like to keep the records.

He uses windows. I want to provide an html page where he will enter new information and this should go to a database.

I am thinking of using struts (and windows,tomcat) and mysql to make this application. I know some stuff from college days, but would look into the tutorials to setup things and program.

Does this selection of technology looks good enough or something more easier and equally good exist?

What are you trying to achieve here? There's a lot of work involved in this. Certainly if you want to do it just for fun / experience then there's a very strong case for either sticking with what you're comfortable with or using tools you'd like to gain experience in. But if the only objective is to provide a tool for managing the data, why not have a look at some of the open-source/commercial packages available.
