Java Web Framework Selection

[EvilLord666]

We should choose the best Java Web framework to build WebApi application, main purposes are:

1. Provide basic info about our mossbauer lab group (our researches, our equipment (including spectrometer which we are going to sell))

2. Private area where we could plan measurements and how we are working n this plan, liquid nitrogen calendar (for samples and so on)
   here also : Some stats / achievements (about nights duties, liquid nitrogene)

Helpdesk : FAQ about our software

Monitoring page : where we could provide data from sensors (cameras and others) about spectrometers state

3. Simple FORUM

How about Spring?

[Elesv]

Or we could try something more elegant, for instance https://www.playframework.com

[Elesv]

These two seem promising too:
https://struts.apache.org/
https://vaadin.com/

[Elesv]

Oh, totally forgot there is GWT http://www.gwtproject.org

[EvilLord666]

One more requirements: is Java 8 -> framework must be quite new (2014)

[EvilLord666]

I saw vaadin sources and think that it is quite simple and it is not so powerful as we expected
GWT is also weak (it seems)
Play framework possibly (it is used by linkedIn, samsung e.t.c)

IMHO: Play is the best solution at this moment

According to this:
tapestry is better by performance

[Elesv]

Well, I haven't mentioned Tapestry as we kinda already know it.

[EvilLord666]

We should try with tapestry + angular5 js

[Elesv]

Ok, deal. Btw, do we need ORM?

[EvilLord666]

Yes, we are using Hibernate with Postgres or MySql

[Elesv]

Oh, ok. Btw, perhaps we could also consider something like MongoDB?
