Just came across a different kind of framework in JAVA. Usually when we talk about frameworks in JAVA they are always "full stack" with the kitchen sink thrown in for good measures. I am used to developing with PHP frameworks as they are not too complex and also i like the fact that there is no compilation involved. You just refresh the page and you can see the results. This is where PHP excels.
But what if you want the robustness of JAVA and instant results of PHP? May i suggest Play Framework to you? Not only is it a breeze to get it up and running but also it follows the "shared nothing" approach of PHP which i have always liked for quick web development.

From the Play Framework site:
Play is a real "Share nothing" system. Ready for REST, it is easily scaled by running multiple instances of the same application on several servers.Also, the fact that it uses "Groovy" as the template language it makes it more appealing for me, cause XSLT is a big PITA and i never "got" JSP. I have to say the designers of this framework got it right. They took the Best of breed programming language(JAVA) and married it to the shared nothing model of the Most popular scripting language(PHP). I will take this framework for a spin soon. Only question running through my mind is, will it scale?
