I mean, most of your issues come from not knowing how to use Spring. And I'm not dogging on you for that. It's just kinda how it is.
If you aren't familiar with Spring it can be extremely confusing why something isn't working. And it feels like it does things by "voodoo" in your words. But it's not. If you understand it and are familiar with it, you can make it do whatever you want.
JSPs are terrible, though. And I don't know about relative "heaviness" of servlets.
People come to me when they can't make it work because I'm the guy with 20 years experience in Spring.
And Spring MVC runs on top of Servlets. Saying you don't know enough about Servlets to know whether it's heavier than Spring or not is like saying you don't know enough about Javascript to know whether it's heavier or lighter than jQuery.
