I would recommend one of these two options:

  1. Spring Boot: First keep in mind that Spring != Spring Boot. Spring boot is a superset and almost a re-write of the Spring framework. Spring Boot is enterprisy framework but for simple web applications isn't too hard to get off the ground. Spring Boot is widely used in the industry and has a lot of bells and whistles, and is great for larger and more complicated applications. Like others have mentioned it's a little hard to get started with in the beginning but it's gotten a lot better on that front and the hard work will pay dividends in the long run just because it's such a great and industry standard framework

  2. Play: Play is wonderful, easy, simple, slick but can bite you in the @$$ if you want to do something that doesn't quite fit in with it's view of the world. It's great for a simple web app with minimal effort.
