I removed spring from my project :(

Last week I started looking at the Spring Framework and liked what I saw and started to migrate parts of my struts based application to it. I configured struts to use the ContextLoaderPlugIn and all was looking nice untill our trusty QA engineer got a whole of a build...

My local development build was running entirely within JBoss 3.5.2 and running fine, but the QA/Production deployments move the web-tier to running under Resin 2.1.14 - it would seem Resin 2.1.14 doesn't like the ContextLoaderPlugIn for some reason, so I switched to the ContextLoaderSevlet configured in my web.xml - spring came alive, and blewup with errors thrown all over my EJBs - erk.

So I quickly backtracked my changes from the end of last week and removed Spring from the system which once again works properly under Resin.

This really sucks as I was looking forward to some spring cleaning of the code, I'll have to look at this more when I have some time available. Grrr.
