Advantages of Spring Framework

There are several benefits of Spring Framework as listed below.

Spring is Lightweight container
No App Server Dependent – like EJB JNDI Calls
Objects are created Lazily , Singleton - configuration
Components can added Declaratively
Initialization of properties is easy – no need to read from properties file
Declarative transaction, security and logging service - AOP
application code is much easier to unit test
With a Dependency Injection approach, dependencies are explicit, and evident in constructor or JavaBean properties
Spring's configuration management services can be used in any architectural layer, in whatever runtime environment.
Spring can effectively organize your middle tier objects
Not required special deployment steps.
Spring has layered architecture. Use what you need and leave you don't need now.
Spring Enables POJO Programming. There is no behind the scene magic here. POJO programming enables continuous integration and testability.
Dependency Injection and Inversion of Control Simplifies JDBC
Spring is a open source and no vendor lock-in.
Supports declarative transaction, caching, validation and formatting.

Disadvantages of Spring Framework

There are several drawbacks of Spring Framework as listed below.

Complex: One of the major problem faced by the Spring framework is that it is complex! No so clear focus, more than 3000 classes, 49 other tools and tons of the other things make it complicated for the developers.
Longer Configuration: If you are a fresher developer, it would be quite difficult for you to learn Spring framework. The main reason behind this is a whole host of new programming methods and detailing require understanding how to set up the Spring XML configuration file.
Require a lot of XML: If you have ever worked with Spring framework, you might be knowing that applications developed using Spring framework often require a huge amount of XML. So, if you are considering Spring for your next development, be prepared to spare a lot of time coding in XML.
Parallel mechanisms frustrate developers: Parallel mechanisms are useful to perform the same task in different ways. However, when we talk about Spring framework, you will find multiple parallel mechanisms, which at the end confuses developers. It makes developers to spend lots of understanding each of them and choose the best one among them.
Lack of Guidelines: No clear guidance on cross-site scripting attacks and cross-site request attacks in Spring MVC documentation. Also, it suffers from a several security holes.
