web scraping

I don't know if this is the right forum to ask this question, I wanted to know if anybody have implemented a web scraping program in java using standard library or using some third party library.

Is it advisable to write such a module in java or some scriptiong language is more suited for this task?

The scrapping module that I'm going to write will need to scrap multiple sites and it may need to do so a few number of times per minute. I wonder if it will be scalable if i write it in a scripting language.
