Writing a typical news site in Java?

Question

Java

In general, it became necessary to write a website for my acquaintances (some org.), but since I was carried away by the toad, I plan to write the backend on the toad.
For example, in python there is a bold web framework - Django. There are orm / forms and a lot of sugar (I know that you have to pay for sugar ..)
And what would you advise to use in java?
PS I heard a lot of good things about spring, but I haven’t used it yet, if there is a good book (preferably in Russian), please write.

Answer 1

They will curse you when you get tired of messing around with this site for a penny.
The technology you have chosen is quite expensive and rare.
And it will not be easy for you to find a replacement and it will not be cheap to pay.
you will be cursed

Answer 2

The best option is Spring + Hibernate + JSP, the standard stack of any Java dev.
There is a book "Spring in action" (Spring in action), if I'm not mistaken, it is also in Russian, but I would advise starting with Spring Boot, it is much easier to start.
There is a good resource - "Spring in Russian!" ( spring-projects.ru/), just after a couple of lessons you can already do something worthwhile.

Answer 3

If you need to make a very simple site, then the question really arises of the expediency of writing everything yourself in Java. Maybe you should still look towards different CMS.
In order to make a viable option in Java, you then need to at least write a small admin panel so that ordinary users can add news and make any changes on the site.
And so, from the technologies you can choose the very popular Spring Boot. Everything you need is there out of the box and works simply. Dealing with it will also not be difficult thanks to good documentation.
Or if you want to take something simpler, then you should look towards Spark .
