I would take a serious look at ADF, mentioned and linked by Shanmuhanathan, and PHP5. As far as I am concerned J2EE and Java are being used inappropriately in most cases and the vast majority of those writing it are ill-trained and shouldn't be allowed near a database. Dot-Net is a bad architecture forcing work on an inadequate and insecure platform. And who else can I trash ... XML doesn't belong in databases. So ... ADF and PHP5 would be my picks.
