Is there a particular reason that you might not pursue PHP?

Now, an obvious question is: where do I start? In my opinion, it's

types of databases, but we are exclusively dealing with the iSeries.
So, I
think my first goal should be to make sure that I can access the
tables in
our database in an easy, secure, and well-performing way.

If you're not already Java literate and/or forced to use Java-based
technology you should also be looking at PHP. Meets all of your
requirements as far as direct support for the database etc. Lot of
very sophisticated frameworks and Grails-like tools, and is far easier
to learn than Java for most RPGers.
