I would go for JSF, Hibernate, Axis2 and Richfaces. And use container

Also Postgres for the back end.

The original poster seems to be using MySQL.
Which with InnoDB tables should work fine from Java as well.

For restricted values of "fine".

Maybe restricted to web sites smaller than FaceBook and Wikipedia ...

But give that PostgreSQL does not run any sites of the size
that MySQL does then it will not be the replacement.

From what I heard, PostgeSQL can hold up with
the big ones. Any source to say different?

Not any technical source.

Just the market.

I am not aware of any really big PostgreSQL installations.

It can be because all their CIO's are unaware of how good
PostgreSQL is or it can be because PostgreSQL is not a good
pick for the task.

I consider the last a lot more likely than the first.

How many CIOs have you met? I haven't met many, but the ones i have met
lead me strongly to consider the former a lot more likely than the latter.
