Although it is also a recommendation by Spring to use it to improved the design on
JEE applications, if you are to choose one of them only, which one would you choose, JEE or Spring?
And if you think both, JEE with Spring, why do you think so?

As for me, and Spring agrees that JEE is much more widely-accepted, by developers, technologists and vendors, we dont need Spring anymore, with the outset of JEE 5.
Before JEE 5, I think Spring+Hibernate will make a perfect addition to JEE.
