I would check out cocoon as a presentation framework and struts for an XML-based request controller. Both products are from the Apache project (www.apache.org).
I don't know much about cocoon, but STRUTS is a good tool to convert user requests into business events. For example, if a user clicks on an "update" button on a Web page to update customer information, STRUTS will convert the update request to a call to the method updateCustomer(). If successful, STRUTs will redirect the user to a Web page that displays the customer info, otherwise, it redirects the user to an error page.
Good Luck,
