Yes, there's a pretty good skeleton app builder called AppFuse.

You could build a small Roo application, and look how they (Roo team) did it. You will lern a lot about who you can use Spring. - (For example: org.springframework.core.convert.support.IdToEntityConverter, tagx, ...)

Ok that is more technic and design than coarse grain architecture but it is defently worth to do that before building an architecture that does not use the provided features.

I strongly suggest you to read the book Pojos in Action as it explains the foundations of how to build apps (design & architecture) in lightweight containers such as spring.
