When I was in college (~2009), I built a blog engine[0] on Java EE. It's still running[1], and here's what I built it with: Payara[2]: I tried Glassfish, JBoss (Wildfly), and possibly others back in the day, and I found Glassfish the easiest to work with. It was still kinda buggy, but was good enough. When I saw that someone forked it, I gave it a go, and liked it better. Postgres: Because it's Postgres. In the past few years, I've been loving its full text search and trigram features. As for actual frameworks, servlets and JSPs run like bats out of hell. I've used Struts and Spring at some jobs over the years, but I don't have any particular attachment, and wasn't at those places for any appreciable amount of time.
