I see Spring as helping Struts be better structure its internal components, specifically using a BeanFactory implementation. It would not replace struts-config in any way or even be exposed directly the a Struts application. The struts-chain request processor implementation makes it easy for Struts apps to plug in IoC frameworks themselves. I totally agree Struts shouldn't become some generic IoC framework, hence my suggestion of using Spring.
Something Craig mentioned way back when was:
* Ensure that all framework objects in 2.0 have consistent factory-based mechanisms to instantiate instances. <http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15604>
is this an area where we could use Spring in our implemention?
