My mistake, you were intentionally casting a wide net. I see where you are coming from now.
In my time working with Java (14 yrs now...sigh) for simple Web applications, I've never found the need for the majority of the J2EE stack, instead opting for Servlets and...well, just normal Java code. I've had Java gurus throw proverbial books at me for not using EJB and its ilk, but I just don't like how complex it all gets once the full J2EE stack is included.
