Matt Raible has written up his experience using DWR with Spring and Hibernate. Matt also kinda put up a movie showing the Ajax features at work. Very nice and clean. A good view of DWR, and nice Ajax techniques (e.g. changing from view to edit mode).

Having a lot of different implementations and innovations is certainly a good thing. However, many Java web developers are frustrated as hundreds or thousands have sprung up over time.
