Spring JavaConfig makes possible to create spring applications without xml cotext configuration. And servlet 3.0 specification makes possible to create web applications without web.xml.

So, is it possible to create spring web application not using any xml configuration? Is there any already implemented solution?

PS At now I do not see in servlet 3.0 any simple method to use Spring’s DispatcherServlet and listener.

    Well, don’t expect too much support of Spring from Java EE 6 (which is officially out since yesterday) as this won’t happen soon in my opinion 🙂 In other words, you’ll need to wait for Spring to support Servlet 3.0 to benefit from all facilities. Quoting the Spring Framework 3.0 RC1 released blog post:

    * Last but not least, early support for Java EE 6: Spring 3.0 already supports the use of JSF 2.0 and JPA 2.0 in a Spring environment, in addition to JSR-303 and JSR-330 support. Further Java EE 6 related specifications such as Servlet 3.0 will be fully supported as they become available in concrete products; this is scheduled for the Spring 3.1/3.2 timeframe.

    So you’ll still need XML for now and this should answer your question.
