that thread is focused on building wep apps with a front end. In fact, I replied saying consider Grails!!
Mentions were made of Scalate, Play and Spark. I'll have a quick look at them and see if they seem suitable. Some further context of the requirements - expose restful urls, convert json data into Java objects, transform and out into MongoDB. Like I said, Grails allows this (quite nicely) but just with a heavy weight infrastructure that I'm wondering is really necessary.....
