This is a question I keep asking myself, specially within the web development enviroment. The company I'm currently working for wants to use Java for their web service needs (I'm trying to push a RESTful approach, but I'm have 0 knowledge of how they could start that in the Java world). So I ask: is Java worth learning for web development (scalability, lines of code, etc)? If not, why?
- jaxytee 13y agoI recommend checking out Play Framework for a modern Restful Java Web Development framework. I must add that the templating engine and under the hood api are written in Scala. It doesn't take long for an experienced Java dev to become a familiar enough with Scala to work with the templates though.

There is a standard for that (as usual in Java :)) - JAX-RS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_API_for_RESTful_Web_Services http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_API_for_RESTful_Web_Servic... It's actually pretty ok, it requires relatively little ceremony. The most popular implementations (Jersey and RestEasy) work well.
