Spring is more than one thing :-).

There is indeed "Spring MVC" which is a framework designed to solve
the same problems that Struts does.  Most people who use the term
"Spring" by itself, however, are referring to the inversion of control
(IoC) framework that you can use (within Struts or not) to dynamically
configure your business services tier.

Yes, struts+spring is the default for the appfuse toolkit.  And they 
play together WONDERFULLY.  For instance, lets say that you have a view 
you'd like to use... Jasper Reports say.  Jasper doesn't go into struts 
as easily as it does in to spring.  So you can use them both together to 
help leverage the technologies you need. 

Do you feel like AppFuse is bloatware in any way? How is performance?
 

No, definately not bloated at all.  Everything is clean and simple, and 
follows the proper J2EE paterns.  Performance is top notch.

+ you can use a set of constantly evolving best practices without having 
to figure/work them out yourself
+ you can have the common functionality of a project in minutes
+ really easy to configure all these libraries
+ easy "howto write a new X component" guides

- you can use a set of constantly evolving best practices without having

- too Tomcat specific last time i checked (session EJBs are still a 
defacto req in my projects ;-)

just my personal opinions of course. May i also tell you that i have 
only experimented with AppFuse and haven't really used it in creating a 
production project.

Hey David,
 

I've used this project for a while now and it's outstanding.  You can literally 
get the foundation for a webproject setup and deployed to a tomcat server in a 
matter of a minutes.  There is continuous work being done on it for additional 
functionality and improvements.  It is consistently up-to-date with the newest 
opensource libraries that it utilizes.  There is a wide breathe of opensource 
projects using in AppFuse so be prepared to learn alot of you are not already 
familar wtih the several of the popular opensource tools like Hibernate, 
Spring, Struts or JSF.
