Why is it that developers from these two communities don't like to see eye to eye? I have been using both Spring from its inception, and EJB's from 2001. Just like everyone else did, I just dreaded the huge amount of XML we had to write for both of these; configuration files in Spring, and deployment descriptors in EJB 2.x. However, Java 5 came to our rescue and now annotations have mostly replaced XML files in both these. But, after having used these two latest versions Spring 2.5 and EJB 3.0, I think that they complement each other, rather than compete with each other.
