Any recommendations for good Java #WebFramework? We have used spring but just starting to move to #Java 11 and them requiring java 17 for supported versions makes it less than ideal.
Preferably it works standalone and hosted in wildfly/jboss
@Paxxi Haven't done much with it, but you could take a look at the Play Framework. It's from the folks behind Akka and Scala and requires Java 8 or 11.

@kerfuffle thanks! That looks interesting, the special build system could be an issue but very much worth digging into
@Paxxi
If you can do it without using sbt I think that'll save you some hardship. But who knows it's improved over the years.
@kerfuffle sounds like you had an experience with it
@Tkalec thanks! That looks interesting
@Paxxi T.b.h., i would recommend spending the time needed to switch frameworks into updating your java version.
For us, the jump from 11 to 17 wasn't that difficult, and certainly was a lot less work then switching frameworks.
If you are dead set on changing frameworks however, then take a look at https://vertx.io/get-started/. This is a very powerful framework.
It is reactive programming so it's very efficient, though you might need some getting used to.
@erikmaas it's a quite complex customer environment so any infra change such as java version is a multi-month undertaking. Hopefully 11->17 is easier than 8->11.
Thanks for the tip, will check it out
