Dropwizard has templating engines integration and form validation.

  I'm aware of that. However, have you tried using them in any non-trivial project? (for example, a project that supports authentication ?)

    I successfully deployed several internal apps using DropWizard (0.9.x) with two different authentication schemes last year. Wasn't too difficult.

    We are actively using it for things like that. What is your actual problem, could you show some code?

      There's some time since I stopped trying to work with dropwizard on non-REST projects so I've forgotten most of my problems. Some of those that I wasn't able to resolve are: - Integrating with spring-security - Integrating spring-security-tags (sec:authorize etc) in the templates - Using a different template engine in general (wanted to use thymeleaf) - Not able to bind forms to objects - Enabling pagination Please notice that all these are related to my specific needs (server side views) and, when trying dropwizard I had all these already solved with spring-mvc. Maybe if I kept pushing I'd be able to resolve most of these but, because of lack of documentation, and generaly because I understood that dropwizard should be used to create REST APIs, not server-side views I just switched to spring boot.
