There's some time since I stopped trying to work with dropwizard on non-REST projects so I've forgotten most of my problems. Some of those that I wasn't able to resolve are:
- Integrating with spring-security
- Integrating spring-security-tags (sec:authorize etc) in the templates
- Using a different template engine in general (wanted to use thymeleaf)
- Not able to bind forms to objects
- Enabling pagination
Please notice that all these are related to my specific needs (server side views) and, when trying dropwizard I had all these already solved with spring-mvc. Maybe if I kept pushing I'd be able to resolve most of these but, because of lack of documentation, and generaly because I understood that dropwizard should be used to create REST APIs, not server-side views I just switched to spring boot.
