I wasn't discounting Spring; I use it and like it. I was discounting empty phrases like "full-fledged enterprise application" which could mean anything, or nothing. When someone offers me support for "full-fledged enterprise applications" I do not know what facilities and APIs I can rely on; when someone offers me JEE 6 or Spring 3.2 or something else with a definition, I do. -- Mark H.
