I've done things in Spring but not the MVC parts. The problem is that configuration is in XML and untyped. So that means your bugs will show up runtime. This, combined with the long make-edit-build-deploy cycles for most Java code severely hampers you. Guice is much better as the injection is being typed and many bugs can be removed early on. On the other hand, you then need to search for a Web framework.
