Spring Framework was developed by ROD Johnson in 2003 as a response to the complexity of the early J2EE specifications.Spring is a lightweight and flexible framework compare to J2EE.
Spring Framework is a Java platform that provides comprehensive infrastructure support for developing Java applications. Spring handles the infrastructure so you can focus on your application.
J2EE vs Spring Framework
J2EE is a standard, official, specification for a full featured Enterprise Application Framework stack. Includes stuff like Object-Relational Mapping, Security, Web Applications, database connectivity, transactions…
On top of J2EE specifications there are J2EE implementations/application servers like: JBoss, Glassfish, WebSphere, Weblogic.
Spring on the other hand, is a framework doing lots of the stuff on the Java EE specifications, but in its own form. They don’t follow Java EE specifications and APIs for that. But they do include a Web Framework, transaction management, security and several other solutions Java EE offers.
