Java main feature: fast on JVM, not on the dev. I've worked for 5 months to make a 4 pages - 3 grid & upload form using GWT, Spring, SOAP.. seriously?? It's a different stack but still it's overkill. You know what is the best part? our app is not even scaled. Why are we bothering then? Do we crunch tons of data to justify the need of a JVM? No. Is speed really a concern? It seems not.. I didn't even hear we are doing caching. It's only transform database beans to DTO and modify for display. Java is not a technical requirement here. It's just a lazy business standardisation solution.

To me It's like, the enterprise wants a flyswatter to kill a fly but you end up with a bazooka factory and the fly dies of age. But the bazooka factory is very efficient on the CPU. That's the important part you know..
