Can anyone recommend a simple Java web-app framework? -


i'm trying started on i'm hoping relatively quick web application in java, yet of frameworks i've tried (apache wicket, liftweb) require set-up, configuration, , trying wrap head around maven while getting whole thing play nice eclipse, spent whole weekend trying point write first line of code!

can recommend simple java webapp framework doesn't involve maven, hideously complicated directory structures, or countless xml files must manually edited?

haven't tried myself, think

http://www.playframework.org/

has lot of potential...

coming php , classic asp, it's first java web framework sounds promising me....

just wanted provide update.

i went play , asked for. requires little configuration, , works out of box. unusual in eschews common java best-practices in favor of keeping things simple possible.

in particular, makes heavy use of static methods, , introspection on names of variables passed methods, not supported java reflection api.

play's attitude first goal being useful web framework, , sticking common java best-practices , idioms secondary that. approach makes sense me, java purists may not it, , better-off apache wicket.

in summary, if want build web-app convenience , simplicity comparable framework ruby on rails, in java , benefit of java's tooling (eg. eclipse), play framework great choice.
