Why isn't Java used for modern web application development?

I did look at 2.0 when it came out, and I'm under the impression that you still need to write a custom binder. Just now I tried to look it up, but the documentation points to:

http://www.playframework.org/documentation/2.0/JavaJson

which is a 404.

I also don't see a nice way to respond with the appropriate format based on the accept-header...not that you can't write that yourself.

How did you get that link? Here is what I get when I browse documentation.

http://www.playframework.org/documentation/2.0/JavaRouting

http://www.playframework.org/documentation/2.0/JavaXmlReques...

it's all over the place...search for "working with json" on those pages. Thanks for the correct link though.

Here the version of the documentation from the git repository: https://github.com/playframework/Play20/wiki/Javajson

it states that the jackson library ( http://jackson.codehaus.org/ ) is included in the framework which allows for type safe json bindings
