Stop using server frameworks to do web development, there is no need anymore, it is useless overcomplexity that is not needed. If you are doing Java use JAX-RS and stand up some RESTful services (Netbeans will generate them off of a JPA annotated class). Then build your web front end with W3C compliant technologies (HTML, Javascript, CSS). When you have the epiphany to go mobile or IVR you don't have to rewire a bunch of config files (get sick of the headaches and rewrite separate classes for mobile) to display in a new medium. you just build a front end for that technology and call the business logic that sits behind your service architecture. It is a much faster development approach because in the end when you deliver to new platforms the logical work flow changes due to screen size constrains or the fact that it is a voice activated system.
