On the other hand you can use simple jsp's if you want to go faster in a php style... I agree with Khaz, huge applications have been developed for simple solutions.

You will have to tell him/her that he/she should wait for you to architect and implement a solution with the proper separation of concerns. It is not just for us as developers, in the medium and long term it is all about systemic qualities of the software that your client receives. Even if it is not made in Java, for example I think that if the performance (another systemic quality) is a critical issue for your client you can build the application in assembler if it needs to (and if you are able to ;), but maybe this will take you 10 years of development so when you finally finish the job, your client´s company maybe wont even exist. It is a trade-off between the sistemic qualities (performance - realizability in that case) what leads you to create Quality Software. The long term cost of the software is as important as the short term results for your client. http://www.suntone.org/ Best Regards.
