That's what we're using as well.
Plus using EJB3/Annotations (over Hibernate3) for persistence.
Works well. No show stoppers thus far.
If don't expect your web app to be too complex, I'd recommend a hard
look at Ruby on Rails.
The whole S2, Spring, Hibernate thing is very powerful. However, it
is getting too
bulky w/configuration and dependencies for less complex projects.

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.

Let me ask you a question that I've never really received a good
answer
to. Keep in mind that my knowledge of Java web programming is
some S1,
and just starting with S2. I have never really looked at Spring.
I understand that S2 and Spring somehow work together. What I don't
understand is: why would I want to use both of them? If Spring is so
great, why don't I just buy a copy of Spring in Action and forget
about
S2?
I guess I'm looking for answer to: what problem does Spring solve
that
S2 does not? And vice-versa.
