Let me guess - it's yet another Java on Rails?

  Yes, but run through the tutorial. It's very slick.

    Java is the yesterday, not the tomorrow. update: Before do stupid down-voting: JNI sucks. It was not designed for today's high-loaded applications. JVM sucks for IO, even with its NIO2. It's not portable any more. There is NO JVM for ARM-based platforms. Even Python is more portable. Java is the corporate platform for internal business-related projects (same as .NET is). It is not an universal or even portable platform. The game is over.

  Seems that way, although it was the most thorough that I've seen. What are others? Groovy runs on JVM, Wicket on Wings exists, I believe. What are other Java options?

    We've been using Grails (Groovy) at our startup with great success. A few warts early on with regard to how Grails wants to handle packages and URLs, but we push a lot of transactions through this system (sorry, I don't have exact numbers) and Grails has held up remarkably well. It also cut our initial development time by about half.

    Stripes is a great framework that promotes the "convention over configuration" mentality, and is quite minimalistic. But it doesn't support any specific ORM out-of-the-box, and doesn't have scripts to autogenerate a lot of stuff, so I'm not sure I'd call it "Rails-like." But it's been one of my favorite Java web frameworks to use.
