How Asp.Net MVC Compares to Java MVC Platforms

Question

I started my career as a Java developer, and then moved to Asp.NET and recently to Asp.Net MVC, which I really like. When developing in Java, I used Struts1, which I remember as a hideous structure with lots of XML. Now I suspect that Java MVC frameworks have evolved from the time of Struts. So how do modern Java MVC structures compare with ASP.Net MVC? Which one is most similar to Asp.Net MVC?

Answer 1

Play is a very good example of the MVC framework. Even more than the principle of add-on configuration, I like its short editing cycle. Another good example of an MVC structure for a short editing cycle JVM is Grails , although for Groovy langauge and not Java itself.

Answer 2

The main advantage of Asp.Net MVC over java frameworks is its simplicity, which is achieved through a configuration agreement.

Edit: I looked at http://www.playframework.org/ and it looks pretty simple like Asp.Net MVC.
