Java programming language was originally developed by Sun Microsystems which was initiated by James Gosling and released in 1995 as core component of Sun Microsystems’ Java platform (Java 1.0 [J2SE]).

Java runs on a variety of platforms, such as Windows, Mac OS, and the various versions of UNIX.

Sun Microsystems has renamed the new J2 versions as Java SE, Java EE and Java ME respectively. Java is guaranteed to be Write Once, Run Anywhere.

Java is: Object Oriented, Platform independent, Simple, Secure, Architectural-neutral, Portable, Robust, Multithreaded, Interpreted, High Performance, Distributed and Dynamic.

There are a majority of enterprises running Java applications and working on Java web development framework. What remains to be seen is that a number of companies are tied to the conventional webdevelopment framework and haven’t actually started to anticipate what could be the best Java webdevelopment framework. Even the JavaOne might hold no unified voice for what web framework is best.

There are several easy to use Java web frameworks that are out now a days, and they are too many. Essentially choosing the best web development framework has become more intricate, specifically due to three reasons. On a broader perspective, the web technology landscape has undergone a sea change; far more choice of technology; and changing requirements for modern web applications.

No framework is perfect, they all have their merits and they all have their breaking points. There is not a single web framework out there that will work for all requirements out there, still there could be found arguments why one framework is better than others and for what types of applications.

So let’s have a look at most viable Java web frameworks:
  • Struts 2
  • JavaServer Faces (JSF)
  • Spring MVC
  • Wicket
  • Stripes
  • Tapestry
  • RIFE
  • Seam
  • Google Web Toolkit (GWT)
  • OpenXava
  • Play Framework
