I am looking for alternatives for my team to create simple REST services that respond in JSON format to multiple clients. While these services are being developed on Spring MVC with Hibernate. It is imperative to connect and work with legacy databases (SQLServer, DB2 and MySQL - depends on the project). Now I am looking for alternatives in order to make the development of the service easier. Don't get me wrong: Spring does a good job, but unfortunately not everyone in our team is familiar with Spring even Hibernate. Addition to this: in most cases, a full Spring stack is not required. It will also help get rid of the JVM too.
I was thinking of something like a script-like solution. Maybe PHP? Is there something like ORM that can work with legacy database systems? The same goes for Ruby on Rails.
Perhaps there is something that I did not hear about and did not come now. I would like to hear your opinions or experience with other methods.
