Piggy-backing on your response: The J2EE hate is a cheap shot. It's just a stack of tools/APIs. Which part of it do you hate? The Servlet API is just Java's version of Rack. It's actually mostly pretty nice. It definitely have it's faults, but it's also much more robust than Rack. Is it ejbeans? Is it JMX? I mean, what is the hate exactly? People might be rightfully annoyed if you just said "I hate Rails" when you actually meant "I hate Devise". Anyone running JRuby Rails apps are using a portion of J2EE and they may not even know it. It's what allows you to flop between Mizuno, Trinidad or Torquebox and not have to care.
