Yes, it is.

In that case, you'd probably use CDI directly and then yes, you really on what the AS provides you for JSON deserialization. If you write a Spring app, then you don't need an application server but only a servlet container (which is more light). In this case, you really on what you configure with Spring.
Please help me understand. I cannot control my employer's use of an application server. Because my employer uses an application server, then as developers, we would be better off not using Spring? Spring is the new direction that management is now mandating. We also run a ton of existing EJBs.
