Peter Thomas has an interesting graphic of a Tomcat/Acegi/SpringMVC/Spring/Hibernate call stack in this post. Very interesting to see the massive amount of infrastructure that you do not need to write. BUT, you do need ot understand what it is doing for you, which can at times be a daunting task. Note though that this call stack is made up entirely of FOS code. Overall, this picture makes me appreciate all that our software development community has been able to achieve in the name of progress.
