If you seek inspiration from the Java world, I think the best candidate would be JSF (Java Server Faces). It is the only painless Java frameworks that I have encountered. If we could "compile" the views, it could turn to be quite pleasant to use.
RoR is also very pleasant. I have no experience with Django, but it probably shares at least a few principles with RoR.
