Thanks for the reply.

That's interesting, the thought didn't occur to me that they'd be using a framework for their web development. Do the large corporations that make money off of Java cloud applications use frameworks for their development?

I can't speak for every corporation, but all those I've worked for have used frameworks. I mean, it would be stupid to repeat the common code in every application. A very minimalistic place might just use JSP for templating and maybe something like Spring-MVC for controllers, but more commonly there'll be a full-scale web framework; I've mainly seen Struts (unpleasant but usable), Tapestry (horrible) and Wicket (divine). I've heard Play is getting popular in recent years (I've been working exclusively in Scala for the last year or two, so I'm not so up to date on Java trends).
