Answer 1

Spring-mvc with jsp's.

Spring is lightweight, everybody knows it, a lot of documentation for it and it's really simple to start developping if you use spring-mvc (specially if you use the mvc-annotations).

If you want some nice effects, you can combine it with JQuery (also for easy-AJAX).
