… a very stupid Java library (or framework if you like that) for handling the JavaEE web tier like that:

• controllers are servlets, with requests dispatched either by a Front Controller servlet or a filter
• views are JSPs
• URL patterns routing to the controllers
• no complicated XML configuration
• … and that’s it.

To put it in another way, what I am looking for is a deadly stupid way of implementing the web tier in a similar fashion as what you can do with Rails or Django (note: I am not looking for Grails or another full stack Rails clone).

I’ve been Googling a bit and could not find that. I’ve also scratched my head a bit but could not remember having ever seen that in the Java space.

Thanks in advance
