Spring in j2se web container without j2ee?

[doubleoevan]

my server host gives me a j2se web container without j2ee
is it possible for me to use spring to integrate with struts and ibatis in a web container without a j2ee application server?

[Rod Johnson]

Absolutely. Spring offers great value in such a scenario. For example, you can benefit from declarative transaction management without EJB, based on a comprensive transaction abstraction that does not require (yet works happily with) JTA.

Even better, if you ever do need to move to an application server, if you've used Spring you will preserve your programming model unchanged.
