The comment is off topic since the article is not about Spring or JBoss and it recommends against using Hibernate. The article is about a modern lightweight stack (JAX-RS, Jetty, Dagger, JDBI).
Not it's not, rebutting another poster who is commenting about Play (a modern java web development framework) in a article that is about modern java web development frameworks. Your comment is counter productive to this conversation, and the purpose of Hackernews in general.
