Leading Through the Next Software Architecture Shift: MCP, A2A, and the Rise of Agentic Systems

Future possibilities - FirefoxOSCast like ChromeCast (under $35), Firefoxbook like ChromeBook (under $100).
I really appreciated the original simplicity and abstraction that Spring brought to the Java world. But of late Spring frameworks have become very invasive for web applications and does not cleanly integrate with other frameworks (It is not seamless - Had a lot of heartburn with a JSF + Spring app. CDI and Spring DI does not play along nice at all).

Moreover, with the renewed interest in making the server side layer of the web applications to be as stateless as possible and leave the state transitions and presentation to the client side HTML/CSS & JS, I am finding it hard to justify having Spring on the backend.

Dropwizard along with a SPA type AngularJS based application seems to be a good alternative, what am I missing? Why are we not seeing much traction on this framework?

As per ThoughtWorks Technology Radar (http://www.thoughtworks.com/radar/#/languages-and-frameworks), they don't recommend JSF. Struts has also lost its edge in the last few years.

Play Framework is still in 'Trial' category per the radar.

However, Dropwizard framework is in 'Adopt' category. [http://www.thoughtworks.com/radar/#/languages-and-frameworks]

Interestingly, Spring MVC was not even mentioned.

What are your suggestions?

What are the alternate approaches that have worked?
Very creative github page. The apps named like movie titles and the UI looks like their Netflix movie browser.

Health Care exchange website faces performance issues & downtime

NY Health exchange website gets 2 million hits in the first hr! But the total number of uninsured in NY state is estimated to be 2.2 million! Based on these numbers, I believe there was a major DOS attack on the health exchange website for NY and other states and the traffic was not just the real anticipated traffic. What do you think?
