The idea with Pippo is that you can create easy a very custom stack. You can work with your favorite servlet container, template engine, json/xml libraries and this is great (for example I use Undertow as servlet container and Pebble as template engine). To do this is simple to add the right Pippo module in your pom.xml file and it's done (pippo-undertow, pippo-pebble in my case).
I don't want to force you to work with my personal stack.
You are not forced to create a web.xml file. Of course you can use the standard approach with web.xml but this is complete optional.
