Is there a Rails-like framework for Java?

I need to do some VERY RAPID prototyping (a use-once and throw-away application) and it has to be in 100% pure Java. Is there any Java framework which provides the same rapid development (especially database integration) as Ruby On Rails? Thanks

1. Well -------------- If you are interested in it running on a JVM, but don't really care if it was actually written in Java, you might want to look at Groovy on Rails (aka Grails). Groovy is a language that compiles and runs on the Java JVM. There are ways for Java and Groovy to interact in the same JVM. http://groovy.codehaus.org/ http://grails.org/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groovy_(programming_language) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grails_(framework)
