Trails uses Tapestry so it may be worth a look - though I doubt you'll be able to escape XML configuration files. Another one that is mentioned as an alternative to Tapestry is Wicket.

It depends on the application, but I have used everything from no framework (printouts from servlets) through JSP/struts to velocity and tapestry. For very complex applications I would certainly recommend tapestry, despite the xml. For simpler stuff, probably JSP. I don't like struts, but some people swear by it.
