Well I think Craig would say Struts was Model agnostic, but despite your
protests Erik, he has thousands of developers building very successful
applications on his mVC, a tad bit more than the number of developers
building solutions on either of our inventions.

I'm pretty sure you can do that with Spring :-)

I rarely find myself as an advocate of Fowler's writing, but this  
was eye
opening and much closer to what I was looking for when I read  
Rick's paper.



http://martinfowler.com/articles/injection.html

For interesting discussion, I do find myself solidly back in the  
camp of

Spring is a fad.  It works, but isn't better de facto.  There are some
engineering conditions under which I would consider it.  For  
example if I

were building an application for resale, ecommerce engine
perhaps?   As most of my applications are business applications
spicifically for the company I am working for and unlikely to ever be
installed a second time with a different configuration I find  
SPRING to be a
poor trade.  Move configuration from compile time checked code to  
runtime

config files. No thanks!

But what about testing?! You cry.   Sadly, my test team goes by the
name of customer and that is a business directive not my choice.   
Not sure

it would be compelling regardless.

Food for thought.
