What I like in Spring

What I like in Spring  Spring IOC - Its all about programming to Interfaces, Though some people argue its a over kill Spring Security - Protects URL's and Object Methods  Spring JPA -  Spring Data Spring Transactions Spring Scheduling Spring support for JAX-WS Spring AOP Spring Testing - Ability to test Transactional objects and rollback What is like most in Spring 3.x Annotations - I hate XML, i don't have to switch files (xml and java) to finish my java class and bug free. @Async - love this, you can use this in many situations specially sending Emails.  @Timer - Simple and great Timer implementation, @Cacheable - Dead simple method cache implementation, other alternative is to use Spring Modules framework's which has little complex configuration
