No argument there, Spring has very good documentation. > like the IoC/wiring approach offered by HiveMind, but I've always used > Hibernate in conjunction with Spring and it looks like with HiveMind I will > have to either use vanilla Hibernate (maybe that's not as bad as I'm > thinking and I should learn to live without the Spring crutches) or go with We all have different preferences but for me I do not find that Spring actually offers much above vanilla Hibernate. You could also use Spring & Hivemind (yes seems redundant) but it is very easy to use spring beans from hivemind. So I would say that it is worth your while to investigate those options since HiveMind - to my mind - is a far superior IoC-container to Spring since I could not live without the configuration/contribution-feature in hivemind.
