There are a few different ways to introduce spring. The way I've always gotten the most bang for the buck is to take advantage of autowiring on action properties. I tend not to configure my struts actions as spring beans, I usually just roll the actions configured via the conventions plugin. Even with conventions, the actions can still be autowired by name. This way, my Struts stays very Struts-y and I have fine-grained control over the service layer through Spring configuration. I find it to be a good balance of configuring what I want to be configurable and utilizing a Conventions over Configuration approach where it makes sense to me. Of course, YMMV depending on the size / scope of the project. > > > P.S: > The project is simple CRUD application.
