Open Symphony's WebWork, an open source web application framework, has standardized on Spring for the configuration, assembly, and deployment of POJO-based middle-tier services.

Patrick Lightbody, co-lead of the WebWork project, notes, "as the most complete 'lightweight container' available today, Spring is the de facto standard for the management of the internal architecture of a JEE application.  We are excited to ship official Spring integration with WebWork 2.2, which is nearing final release.  This integration will make it even easier for WebWork users to use Spring."

In addition to WebWork, Spring's middleware stack integrates with a number of other established web application frameworks including Struts, JSF, Tapestry, and Spring MVC.  Spring is committed to supporting a flexible set of configurations across both JEE and JSE environments.
