Jersey (RestAPi) alternative in Spring?

Spring MVC does this perfectly fine, in my opinion. Just annotate your methods in your controller as the REST apis you want to use.

EJB alternative in Spring (as EJB supports remoting, each lookup call to a method is treated as a transaction, calls to EJB's method could be intercepted and it comes with state-full and stateless flavors)?

There is no full alternative. There are several techniques that implement this in parts: Spring remoting for remote calls, Spring transactions as transactions, Spring AOP interceptors for intercepting calls. However, for example XA transactions on remote calls are something you don't get as such in Spring. Spring however works fine with EJBs, so if you prefer them, you can still have them and use Spring in other parts of your software.

Timer Service alternative in Spring?

Spring task scheduling

Message Drive Bean alternative in Spring?

Message Listener Containers

Interceptor alternative is AOP in Spring (As per my experience and that serve my purpose)

There are several levels of interceptors in spring. There are handler interceptors in mvc, there are bean call interceptors like the SpringAutowiringInterceptor, and there are AOP-based interceptors that can be used in multiple layers.

JPA(entity manager) alternative in spring?

Spring has multiple of these as well. It's actually quite straightforward to just use JPA with Spring-Data, it's designed to integrate to JPA. There are Spring JDBC and other data layer alternatives though if Spring Data is not what you want.
