I can tell you its been painful!  My latest venture is with a company that is 

I currently work for the Texas Comptroller and previously a contractor for many
years. We're still using rusty old Struts 1 on websphere and have used Spring
for some projects. I use Stripes for all my prototyping and an internal app.

JSR-303 
We've found the spec to be somewhat limiting and inflexible. We have been using
Oval with good success as a validation framework. Flexible, easily extendible.

Here's my view on Spring (when i first found it 5 years ago, i thought it was
the coolest thing evah!)

It has excellent documentation.

Its a container. If you already have a container and services, there are parts
that are redundant.

You think, Oh cool! I can have a service interface, and have Spring inject the
implementation at runtime! Awesome! Problem is, I only ever have the same
implementation. So I have an XML file (or annotations, same thing) that adds a
layer of complexity for what 90% of the time should be obvious.

yeah.
