Guidance on making a 'Track and Trace' application

[Fahad Hassan]

I have to create a 'Track and Trace' application for a company and now I am stuck in the middle of the whole process. The application, which will be put up on the websites front page, will be like this that a visitor will enter his/her tracking number in the application and then click on the 'submit' button. Next, the visitor will be redirected to a new page and all the data that has been stored in the MySQL database according to that tracking number will be shown to him. My first question is that, how can I create such an application? I am already done with creating the MySQL database. Also, I have installed this software called Netbeans IDE using which we can create JAVA Applications and it sort of looks promising to me. Can I create a 'Track and Trace' application using Netbeans IDE? Secondly, how can I connect my MySQL database to the application which will be created? Please help me as soon as poosible. Thanks.

P.S An example of the 'Track & Trace' application can be seen on this website http://www.seagoldlimited.com/ (right side).
