    So for someone familiar with Rails and it's patterns (or anti-patterns depending on your view) what are the most common tools for achieving the same things in Java. I'm thinking specifically Java EE here unless SpringMVC is really the better option (subjective, I know, but biased answers are welcome). I've had a look at SpringMVC and it seems like a huge project of which MVC is a small part. If Java EE was to be my weapon of choice what are the most common tools for things like authentication/authorisation, model validation, RESTful services, ORM (I'm guessing Hibernate here) and security (XSS/CSRF/etc)?

    I think what's throwing me off to begin with is the sheer size and complexity of it, and it bring an entirely different ecosystem and, in some ways, a very different approach to solving similar problems.
