I do not think that ECP should compete with Spring on such area. As far 
as I see "Spring offers" means Spring has some libraries for it (from 
some other OS teams) and some facilitation code on top. I do not pretend 
that I'm so familiar to Spring, but this is usual Spring's approach. I 
guess libraries must be wrapped into ECP components (OSGi bundles). 
Facilitation code may be considered to wrapped, having reuse as much as 
possible as a goal.

Again, this is a subject of our planning for future.

Best,
Igor.
