What I meant was: use Spring IoC to glue Struts 2 and Hibernate together :)

Spring has several components, but the one I use (and the one I think is the most popular) is the Inversion of Control (IOC) framework. Struts 2 (when it was Web Work) had some IOC support, but it wasn't as full featured as what Spring offers. Spring also has an MVC, which is a direct competitor to Struts 2. I personally don't like Spring MVC, and would much rather use Struts 2.
