Hopefully this all being stated in jest since anyone considering using
JavaEE for a Hello World micro-service is either trying to introduce
people to the JavaEE workflow for big applications or has a deep agenda,
possibly involving Spring Boot or general hatred of Java.

As a counter example let us consider Ratpack where the complete Hello
World micro-service (*) is coded as.

get("/") {
    "Hello, World!"
}


(*) This term is now mandatory for fashion reasons.
