Does it make sense to use a simple framework for Java Web applications?

I have done a lot of Java Web development using JSPS and servlets, and I find this method direct and flexible Some of the basics involved - such as managing database connections - are quite tedious and require a considerable amount of work to get new web applications out of the field

Therefore, I first considered using frameworks, but my impression of frameworks is that they are mainly used for large J2EE applications and involve a large number of complex configurations What I am looking for is simple (after the initial learning curve) that will enable me to start and run a new web application as soon as possible

So my question is – does it make sense to use a simple framework for Java Web applications?

Please note that I am not asking which framework to use (if indeed a framework is recommended), because it has been asked here

Solution

This makes sense My team has spent five years with the open source stack. Anyway, we have a "seed" project (like Appfuse) to create all new web applications Even the simple two pagers that maintain the application look like every other application, but smaller

In a short time, you won't get any return on investment now, but you will get a return as the project develops and maintains
