Just watched demos for Vaadin and Play to get first impressions.
In both cases, I liked what I saw, but of course I need to learn a lot more about those frameworks
to see when and for which kind of projects I would choose either Vaadin or Play over Spring MVC,
which I have been using professionally for a while now.
It's obvious, however, that Spring MVC and Play share a similar, web-oriented notion of the MVC pattern, while I am not sure whether MVC plays much of a role in Vaadin at all, with its focus
on
RIA and one-page web applications.
(In Vaadin, I guess MVC would be applied in a way similar to desktop apps.)
