(Personally, I'd just try it.)

If it's not being used, it's not being used--we don't have any way of knowing 
if it *actually* isn't being used short of looking at it, but if you say it 
works without it, then it probably isn't.

Struts Spring dependency

[Tamer Erdogan]

Hi,

I have taken over a struts2 application and there is something, that confuses 
me.
Under WEB-INF there is applicationContext.xml with the following content:

http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd";>



And in web.xml there is the following:
...

  
org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener

...

And in pom.xml of course the struts2-spring-plugin is added as dependency.
In the web application itself, the spring is not used anywhere. If I remove the 
above definitions, the application itself is running and I don't see any errors.
My question is that, does struts2 needs the spring-plugin absolutely? If I 
remove this dependency, would it be safe or what is the best practice here?

Thanks and kind regards
Tamer Erdogan
