1. request comes in
2. do stuff here
3. response goes out
While this may not sound very exciting, this is exactly what goes on in HTTP APIs. People these days use Node or Go for this kind of stuff, but Dropwizard makes it very pleasant to do it in Java.
We have had great results internally here at Boxfuse with Dropwizard. So good in fact that we decided to add Dropwizard-specific optimizations to our deployment tool for running Dropwizard apps on AWS with a single command.
Dropwizard is great for REST APIs (... as the title says). However if you want to use traditional views (MVC, html templates, security, forms etc) then please check something else (I tried it and lost many hours -- in the end I still couldn't do even basic things). For traditional web development, I recommend spring-boot which is almost as easy as dropwizard, it also doesn't need an application container and fully su…
What templating language did you use with Spring MVC?
Now maybe those PHBs who think we should use spring-boot because it's passed 1.0 will pipe down. Or not. Anyway, good to see - especially with HTTP2.

I've been looking at http://www.mitchellbosecke.com/pebble/home but I have not yet had a chance to use it.

Funny that everybody rush for REST framework, while most of the time people cramming REST in their applications need less "read, upload, replace, delete" operation model and more "normal functions, except called remotely" provided by RPC. But RPC-over-HTTP (XML-RPC, JSON-RPC, or even Thrift) is a problem solved long ago, so it's not sexy enough, I think.

I stumbled on it a long time ago because I had the problem of Java devs needing to integrate templates built by front end devs and all the churn that goes along with it.
It uses custom tag attributes like th:href to swap the computed value in on template render so you can have a completely perfect looking HTML/CSS/JS template with the placeholder values without having to convert back and forth. It's just HTML with extra attributes that get ignored when not run through the rendering process.
You can use Spring Expressions, forms, and security with pretty much no configuration, it works awesome.
It supports partials and layouts and all the good stuff you'd want for reuse and it took me about 10 minutes to create a custom dialect for it that lets me use Thymeleaf and Vue.js together very nicely.
I can't recommend Thymeleaf enough.

Dropwizard has templating engines integration and form validation.

Hmmm seems nice and has a djangonic syntax! However I'm not really sure how easy would be to integrate with spring boot (and spring security)...
