In recent projects we have used the Spring MVC integrated into OpenCms. This topic is not new to the OpenCms community, as it has already been covered a little in the OpenCms wiki and also Bearingpoint provides an open source submodule in their Commons-Project at Sourceforge.
Nevertheless, we make our small 'getting-started' project available now - it's aimed for developers who want to integrate Spring & Hibernate into OpenCms for the first time and would like to have a ready-to-go starting point/project setup.
The project includes Eclipse and NetBeans project files as well as the ant build file.
We used it for OpenCms7.0.5 and OpenCms7.5. With these OpenCms versions, the versions of the depending lib files used by Spring and OpenCms should not conflict. (We didn't use it with OpenCms6 yet).

or download as zip from:
http://www.sysvision.de/en/expertise/cms/solutions/opencms_spring_integration.htmlThe project contains a Readme.pdf how to use it. We hope it's useful to someone and are open for any comments, suggestions and improvements.
(A note regarding Hibernate: we don't use the OpenSessionInViewPattern (OSIV), so you won't find it in the project. If you want/need it, you will find infos about it in the opencms-wiki.org)
