The funny thing is that I've spend the past few months working with RoR. I like it, but I finally have some time to investigate the Java world. I have this nagging concern about RoR performance.

One thing I hope to learn soon is, once over the pain of initial configuration with Java based frameworks, how hard is it to add another class, view, etc.

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.
