I agree - I would choose Java (or I guess Scala if I had a really good team around me) for the core stuff. I might bridge out beyond the core though and start using Groovy or JRuby for non-core functionality.

Jersey/JAX-RS are good, alternatively if I felt like taking a bit of risk I might give Play2 a try.

The Java/JVM ecosystem just has too many positives going for it (awesome VM, libraries, great community, huge developer pool) to really consider another stack for a 'large' web app.
