Using spring.net for new Portal

[apraman]

Hello,
I am new to spring.net and the flexibility and features look good for me to start using it for my web applications. But I need a small clarification : Can I use spring to build a highly complex web portal or is there any limitations on its complexity/ performance etc ? My proposed web portal is really a huge one and I should not regret after selecting spring.net as the base framework. Is there any big portal developed using spring.net. Can anyone give me more information on this.

Sorry, if the question is already there in FAQ, but I could not find it.

Thanks and Regards
Ram

I'm using it for something similar. Granted my portal is having more of an XP approach, starting small and adding on. This will help you get your patterns down and when you need to refactor there won't be too much code to change.

Once you get a good usage pattern down that you like and that works for you I would say that's the only limitation. There are more limitations by not using a framework like Spring / NHibernate than there is in using it.

Which Spring.NET modules are you thinking of using, IoC, AOP, Web etc?

I can tell you that the AOP implementation in Spring.NET is x10 faster than using ContextBoundObject, and far simpler.
