Already have Java REST server, which Java web framework to use?

Question

I already have back-end Java server that exposes interface through a REST services, sending JSON objects. I need to choose Java web framework to create front end. The only requirement is that I need charts to be supported. What would you recommend?

I suggest Wicket for the web framework and JFreeChart for chart drawing support.

Supporting of charts has more to do with a client library than with a server framework. See for example flot, which can very easily load data from a REST api.

Take a look at SmartGWT (see showcase)

** Edit **

I thought I remembered chart classes with SmartGWT. Anyhow, there are plenty plugin libraries for that.

If you have Java development skills then GWT is a no-brainer: it's a gift in terms of client-side web development for Java developers. I'd recommend going for GWT itself rather than a GWT wrapper on another client-side framework. GWT seems to be the 'thinnest' wrapper that offers the smallest client-side download. Some of them do get very large. Plus, you're also operating 'close-to-the-metal', which can offer eased maintenance/configuration.

There are several GWT charting libraries available - so you can choose whether to use Google charts or use another open source library.
