The play framework sounds like something you'd be interested in. It abandons the Java conventions for a more rails like experience.

You can use Play! with scala as well, so you get a good framework AND a more interesting language at the same time ;)
Yeah, never heard of it until now. If I ever venture out into Java land again, I'll have to give it a better look. How does it compare to Grails?

I've never looked at grails so I can't offer an opinion but I have some links that may be helpful to you. The first is a HN discussion on the play framework and the second a discussion on google groups about the differences between the two frameworks.

playframework is way better than rails in my opinion

Watched the screencast. First thought when I saw 'SomeClass extends Controller': this will be hard to evolve.
Tapestry 5 has done away with this and does not require interfaces or superclasses anymore in order to avoid breaking the API in future releases, they should have learned from that.

No comments about the Lift framework ? FourSquare uses it
