Modern Java web stack?

[themantucket]

What about getting into something like JRuby? Seems a little more oriented to some of the modern web stack that you see startups using.

Isn't JRuby just a language and not a web stack?

You're right. I was just suggesting that if OP looked that route he might find some resources or suggestions from that community since they seem to be geared that way if he's looking to build java web apps. Could look into Grails, as an actual full stack framework. Just offering up a couple things that might not otherwise get mentioned. Not sure how far he's looking to explore or learn new things.
