Now before you heckle me or throw out 20 different frameworks, let me explain in greater detail what I mean (and if such a thing exists).
Suppose I want to create a webservice which lets a client app store a single key / value pair. In about 5 minutes I could could write a servlet that will do this (accept post, save value, return status), deploy it to the appserver built into my IDE, and be ready for a beer. (probably less than 5 min, actually). Now suppose I want to deploy this service live on the web and have it be secure and reliable. Ah, now it gets far, far harder. To do I right I must: * implement authentication, securely, over https * create a user account database or hook into another one, along with account creation / password change, maintenance tools, etc. * handle fail over to other instances, including session affinity * persist the storage to disk in a threadsafe and reliable manner, possibly setting up my own sql db and jdbc connections. That's a lot, even though my service still does the exact same thing. There's a ton of work to make something reliable, and yet it's all overhead. And *none* of it has to do with the functionality I'm actually trying to build. So, what I'm looking for is a framework that handles the above for me. And I really mean *handles* it, not "gives me the ability to hook into 18 different implementations of auth systems that I could set up separately". If it generates a project template as the first step that's perfectly okay. I want to be coding my features, not dealing with infrastructure. Even better if it's something that can work with OpenID / OpenAuth. Then I won't have to deal with people creating their own accounts for my service (which I don't care about), but they can instead login using some one else's service (google, facebook, etc.) So what's the best webframework to do the above? I'd prefer something vaguely Java / JavaEE based, I'm willing to look at Groovy, Ruby, Python, etc. as well.
