What to take as a basis for the site: several forms, several people with different access levels?

Question

Java

As a matter of fact. I want to kill 2 birds with one stone - write a task (really you need to fill out 1 form; after filling it out, you need to be able to attach a file to each entry) (deleting records on a schedule - I plan to do this separately in the crown.) and the second hare is at least a little to enter java for web.
I would like advice on what to take for development. the site will live on debian 8, base - mysql.
But what to take for the server? tomcat?
And I would really like advice on what to take as a sample site in java. For one, can anyone tell me what is more convenient to model the interface on?

Answer 1

Actually, there are only two options.
1. Tomcat is the simplest, and, most likely, in your case, the very thing.
2. Nginx , but it needs a bit of professionalism.

Answer 2

If you have a project with one form at all, then you should not bother with spring for two reasons:
1. Learning Spring will take you more time than the project itself.
2. Spring automates things you don't know much about yet. It's like learning angular without understanding JavaScript.
It is better to master the logic of how servlets work, at the level of request handlers, because all Java frameworks work through them.
Tomcat is fine.
