There was also
question, if we can upgrade the spring integration to 2.5.x instead of
2.0.x.

I've been using Seam together with Spring 2.5 for a long time. There really is no conflicts...and what is nice is that you get the Spring ELResolver (instead of the VariableResolver) in your hands for tighter integration.
