For the record, the right tools for lightweight web applications on 
the JVM are Grails, Ratpack, or Vert.x. JavaEE is for "enterprise size 
sites" (which is why it has enterprise in the title I guess :-). 
Spring as was is still there but Spring Boot is making a lot of people 
very happy.

I do not do any Web application, but I know a lot of people who do.

BSkyB for example do some JavaEE, quite a lot of Spring, and a great 
deal of Grails. 

cf. http://grails.org/doc/2.4.x/guide/gettingStarted.html, 
http://www.ratpack.io/manual/current/, http://vertx.io/
