Re: Advantages and Disadvantages of using the Spring framework

I just wanted explore whether my experiences with using the spring
framework are a common experience.

I can see same great advantages with using Spring however I
have this nagging feeling that it isn't the magic solution that some
people seem to make it out to be.

Somewhat agreed. But the same goes for a number of other things as well.
For some funny reason, most of the "new" things are seen as cure-all-ails.

I'm also concerned that the extra configuration involved in using
Spring can reduce the understandability of the code for a newcomer
especially if they are not a Spring expert themselves.

I wouldn't be too concerned of this, given the company has at least
some sense (enough that, if applications are written using Swing,
the new recruits would at least preferably have some experience
with Spring). If, on the other hand, the company preferably employs
the ones it gets with the lowest price, then there will be problems
no matter that the technology choices are.
