Today there are three frameworks in Java which are in active development and share the similar philosophy for rapid web development in Java.

Any comments on pluses, minuses, advantages and disadvantages of these frameworks ?
Like:
- Comments on Controller layer, Inheritance, etc.. ?
- Level of “friction” in integrating application of these frameworks in other
systems. - Deviation from standards and it’s impacts.
{ one can append the suitable points }
I tested Play and Scooter, Scooter is for me better than Play.
Pure Java , built-in Ajax, Active Record ORM (vs JPA and Annotations with Play), code generator, easy to learn and modify !
Play is very good to scaffold with Crud Inheritance (and Tables creation with JPA) but when you want to go more far, documentation is lacking and syntax is not easy.
Scooter is based on RoR, The PHP framework which is in the same approach is YII Framework
