GWT<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Google Web Toolkit (GWT) lets developers to build and maintain intricate JS front-end applications. It puts up with reusable methods for web development. UI abstraction, bookmarking, history management, and cross-browser portability are some of the key functions that you can do with great ease with Google Web Toolkit.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"5\">5. Hibernate<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Another celebrated object-oriented tool mostly used for mapping in Java. The framework is available for free under the GNU lesser general public license 2.1. Among many features that Hibernate offers the most important ones are extensive interaction with database, advanced caching instrument, DB independence, low risk of data loss and less power usage.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.konstantinfo.com\/blog\/top-web-development-frameworks\/\" target=\"_blank\">Top 5 Trending Web Development Frameworks In 2018<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><span id=\"6\">6. Play<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Play is a great framework to go with as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.konstantinfo.com\/java-application-development\" target=\"_blank\">Java web development compan<\/a>y that is looking to develop modern business solutions.

It is designed to serve the needs of advanced applications and is highly reliable to work on expansive projects.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"7\">7. Vaadin<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The application is highly beneficial for internet apps and features server-side architecture. The major upsides of using Vaadin are it offers a fine range of plug-in support and comes with layout, listeners and component types that make it really resourceful as a Java web development tool and allow it to offer great flexibility and control to developers. Besides, easy integration with the Spring framework is another major benefit it comes with to help it make it to the list of Top Java Web Frameworks of 2017.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"8\">8. Stripes<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Designed by Java officials with the objective of making Servlet\/JSP based web app development in Java, Stripes is highly followed and trusted framework in the Java web application development space. The best part is it is highly easy-to-use and extremely intuitive in its offerings. Which makes it so popular among people who are still in their early learning and application phases.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"9\">9. Wicket<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Apache Wicket makes it to the top 10 Java web frameworks as it is highly user-friendly to work with and you don\u2019t need to have distorted HTML pages while approaching a solution with the framework. Initially written by Jonathan Locke in April 2004, the light-weight component-based framework evolved with time to offer simple flow-of-control and easy code reuse which really makes it so popular among developers.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"10\">10.
