Spring Framework could potentially be a one-stop-shop for all your enterprise applications; however, Spring is modular, allowing you to use parts of it, without having to bring in the rest. You can use the bean container, with any web framework on top, but you could also choose to just use the Hibernate integration or the JDBC abstraction layer. Spring is non-intrusive, meaning dependencies on the framework are generally none or absolutely minimal, depending on the area of use.
