EJB horror stories

What do our gurus have to say about the Spring framework, does it really stand on solid grounds. Are there problems that the EJB containers have failed to solve for enterprise apps?

Deploying and testing EJBs is never been easy when it comes to test simple method level functionalities. Spring increases testability of independent components. You may use mock objects, and you need not supply the implementation of interfaces on which ur code depends. Just mock objects are enough with assertions for testing core functionality.

However along with AOP it becomes complex for newbies, but AOP is also a feature.

As my personal thinking is, Spring is not for use by Enterprises. It is just for students who create open source projects to submit as their college assignments.

There are some docs in STRUTS site bet it's not very comprehensive.
