I am currently working on a project based on hibernatge, spring and JSF. We are going to start a new project and the question is how to do the same without Spring.
I still want Hibernate/JPA, JSF and Dependency Injection, but I find Spring just unclear with releases and support.
Does anyone use a differendt approach in O/R Mapping with JPA and DI which is reliabale and does not use Spring?

Hibernate - you can use Hibernate without Spring. We are doing that on this site. Instead we have a filter to implement the Open Session in View pattern.

JSF - There are many implementations of JSF; no reason you have to use the Spring one.

Dependency Injection - Google Guice (or better is JEE 6 if your app server supports) would take care of DI.

The big warning is that now you have even more release cycles to contend with.
