Java web application development kit recommendation

I'm looking for good java MVC web application development kit (or framework), with servlet engine, database persistence layer and viewer layer included and ready to go? One example is TDK (Turbine Development Kit), but it's kinda outdated, and their M.E.T.A. is very hard to work with (it uses maven 1.0). Thanks,

David

There are many good 'stacks' that you could use, some of which have already been mentioned.

They all have their own strengths & weaknesses, and you really need to select a stack that best fits your requirements.

The Spring/Roo, AppFuse & Seam are all great, but they do come with a certain amount of... errm... bloat.

You may find that picking and mixing technologies actually provides you with a lighter weight and more performant solution, so long as the technologies you choose integrate relatively seamlessly.

If you're looking to package a full execution environment including the servlet engine as part of your application, Jetty is a good choice, and you can easily integrate it into a Maven build environment.

You may also want to investigate using HyperSQL for your database, which will allow you to prototype using an SQL compliant database without having to worry about installing a full database manager such as MySQL or PostgreSQL.

There's AppFuse and Roo if you're looking for "make it go".

If you're not dead-set on Java, there's Grails (and JRuby on Rails).

Give a shot to AppFuse. It will leverage either Struts 2 or Spring MVC for you, with a nice persistence layer.
