Migrating to Spring Framework

[sajeevsnair]

Hi:

I am currently planning to move my application which is using JSPs Servlets and EJBs to use Spring Framework. Can some one help me on which is the best to be used at the View or a combination. Hope I am putting it right. I really mean like Struts-Spring-Hibernate or Tapestry-Spring-Hibernate. Which would be the best. I am confused as I am going through lot of stuff. Every stuff looks good in the begining but later some article has some negative coments on it.

Can some one help me on this?

Thanks in advance.

I don't really think it's possible to say what's "best" in any situation without knowing the requirements. That's why Spring has a lot of implementation choice.

If you can point to these negative articles you mentioned then perhaps someone might take a look and try to address those concerns, but with the info you posted it's rather difficult.

I am currently pretty happy with just Spring + JSP (although I am interested in the JSP form simplification tags that I've heard about). I have used Struts in the past, and I think for most applications with Spring's MVC + JSP is a better alternative. I'd advise starting using that, then you can experiment with other view technologies in the future as you gain a better understanding of the basic Spring framework and its ins-and-outs.

Hi Darren:

I have read through Aurora and there it states some addition has been made which is not handled in the existing spring framework. Similarly Struts implementation.

I am converting a mission critical transcation application to Spring and wanted to know if there are any recommended view side implementation. Spring Web + Spring + EJB / Hibernate or any other like this which are recommended with team having JSP, HTML skills.
