So how many different java web technologies are in there ? Last time I
checked there was straight JSP, struts, gwt, assorted javascript libraries.
It is using mysql. Is it using any kind of database OR mapping, or just SQL
all over the place ? Is there any relational integrity ?

Are you also aware there are people distributing extensions of this without
all of the source ?
