@jbm: more some "don't go there" recommendations: Don't use JSF, don't use Wicket, obviously don't use Struts/Struts2 as they died 10 years ago. I've heard decent things about Play2 although most of the org's I know using it are using Scala. The one with the most support and the most developers (and the one I have most experience with) is Spring MVC. It does the job but there is a lot to it. I would look at Spring Boot to get started with it too.

I don't have a lot of experience with Java frameworks, since my first JVM language was Clojure (apart from learning Java at uni). I did use Struts2 which isn't horrible, but not widely used. And Play 2, which I found quite good.

Heard good things about Ratpack. Would probably try that also.

i think i'll start out by checking out Play 2 and Spring Boot in more detail

@jbm looking for jobs here in germany the spring stack is generally more asked than the play2 framework, from my experience
