The place to be in order to find out the latest hot developments in the Spring community, without doubt is the SpringOne conference in Antwerp. This year it will take place on June 11-12. I will deliver a session on how the Spring frameworks play ball in a Model-Driven environment. I hope you'll visit me on June 12th, on 12:00 in room 2.
You might wonder, why the choice of a framework is so important when you're doing MDA. Isn't the point of code generation to hide all that boring boiler-plate code from the developer? Indeed, that is the case. However, an MDA application still is an application, and so the number of lines of (xml or java) code is still important. On top of that, distribution of this code over files, and maintainability of those files, is equally relevant. In my opinion, whether some of those files are generated or not, should be of no concern.
As it turns out, the Spring frameworks do help a lot when doing MDA. They don't "sit in your way", but actually help in getting responsibilities distributed over several files; especially the IoC concept helps in that.
