look at spring roo, its a more modern approach and uses active record rather than the service layers / repositories, it makes generating json api's really simple

A few points:
1) Spring Roo is not necessarily a more modern approach. It's more similar to Rails.
2) JAX-RS is more like Sinatra than Rails. Generating JSON api is already simple in JAX-RS.
3) Not everybody wants ActiveRecord

4) JAX-RS comes with standard Java EE (moot point)
5) You can re-use your Servlet knowledge with JAX-RS to some extend (Filter, setting up web.xml, etc)
Not to take anything away from Spring Roo which is a wonderful project.

I use jersey (provided by glassfish).
- JAX-RS (RESTful)
- JAX-WS (WebService)
- MVC (view-based web-app)
And in contrast to what people believe, you don't need to write tons of code and still get full re-usability from the Services/Repositories layer.
On the front-end, you have a choice of:
- GWT for thick-client via RPC (return serialized Java object) or AJAX (return JSON)
- JSP, JSF, any templating available
- Mobile, Desktop, anything
