For simple demonstration purposes, JSP+Postgres (or any jdbc-enabled db) is
very simple.

I'm not aware of a HOWTO, but here's a little advice:

Install PostgreSQL.  Start postmaster with "-i" option.
Download the postgresql jdbc driver (from http://jdbc.postgresql.org).

Look on java.sun.com for jdbc tutorial.
Use a connection string similar to this to connect to your database:
Connection db = DriverManager.getConnection(
  "jdbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1:5432/mydatabase",
  "myusername",
  "mypassword")

For testing purposes, doing this in JSP is just like doing it in a simple java
program.

When you get ready to have multiple users, I recommend modifying your webapp
to use DDConnectionBroker to pool your database connections.
