2. Spring Framework
Spring is a non-invasive application development
framework that aims to make the life easier for
Java/J2EE developers, by
● Providing a DI (or IoC) container.
● Providing an AOP framework that delivers services such as
declarative transaction management.
● Providing abstraction for more complicated (J2EE) services and
APIs, which removes lot of ”boilerplate code”.
● DI + AOP + Service Abstraction = Power to the POJO
3. Modules Of The Spring Framework

4. Spring MVC At A Glance
● Spring’s own implementation of Web MVC (Model2)
● Integrates nicely with the middle-tier via DI
● Annotation Configuration significantly reduce XML
configuration
● The components of the web framework is loosely coupled
● Supports several view technologies
– JSP/Tiles, Velocity, FreeMarker
● Full control on HTTP low level aspect,
– e.g. HTTP Response Header, Pragma Cache, Content Type, etc
● Support all HTTP Method
– GET, POST, PUT,DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS, TRACE
5. Spring MVC At A Glance
● Great documentation
● Spring Web Flow for conversational flow processing
● Powerful security support with Spring Security :
– LDAP Authentication, X509, Role Based Authorization,
– Domain Object Access Control List, etc
● Highly configurable URL :
– http://localhost/mystore/product/list
– Even we can do : http://localhost/mystore/productlist.php
● Portlet MVC Framework
– Out of the box portlet developement to integrate with portlet container such
as liferay
6. Spring MVC At A Glance
● REST support coming up (Spring 3.0 currently Milestone 2)
– Pretty url, for example :
http://localhost/mystore/product/list/id/2 Instead of
http://localhost/mystore/product/list?id=2
● Easy integration with javascript and Ajax library
– jQuery, Prototype, Dojo
● Commonly used as backend data provider for Rich Client
Frameworks
– GWT, Flex, OpenLaszlo
7. Spring Integration
Spring framework is not just about database and web. Spring also
support a lot of integration channel through different technology
such as:
● Spring WebService
● Remoting using RMI,Hessian or Burlap
● Enterprise java beans (EJB) support
● Java Messaging Service
● Email
● Scheduling
8. Whats new around spring?
● OSGi is modular architecture where you simply put additional
jar to your application, and all part of application recognice it as
new application module, just as easy as plugin system.
● SpringSource dm server
– completely module-based Java application server that is
designed to run enterprise Java applications and
Spring-powered applications with a high degree of
flexibility and reliability
● Spring Security
– provides powerful and flexible security solutions for
enterprise applications developed using the Spring
Framework
9. Whats new around spring?
● Spring WS

for the creation of flexible web services using one of the many ways
to manipulate XML payloads
● Spring Integration
– provide a simple model for building enterprise integration solutions.
● Spring Dynamic Module
– makes it easy to build Spring applications that run in an OSGi
framework
● Spring Batch
– provide bulk processing to perform business operations in mission
critical environments
10. Whats new around spring?
● Spring acquire Covalent, company which provide Tomcat
commercial support
– Springsource is realy serious to transform SpringFramwork as full stack
java ee solution
● Spring acquire G2One Company behind groovy and grails.
– Groovy is new scripting language run in JVM
– Grails is groovy implementation of most productive framework rails
● Spring acquire Terracota
– Terracota provide a technology that enable JVM clustering across multiple
machine
– The most eficient and inovative way to cluster java application
11. Spring Community
● Spring is very popular among java programmer.
● Easy to find programmer with good spring skill.
● Lots of forum, mailing list and QA site will answer spring related
question. It means you will never stuck with unsolved problem.
● Springframework.org is realy helpfull, all spring source
employee, even rod johnson himself will answer any question in
it's forum.
● Spring official reference is documentation attached in spring

13. Spring Stack
Spring provide full stack of java development, from core
application, middle tier (database), web and integration with other
system.
Implementing spring architecture means, putting the right
foundation for big and complex application. Once we use spring as
foundation, extending it with more feature is easy and seamless.
Big Spring implementation are there, so all related issue, bug,
pitfall or any problem are already solved. We need to learn from it
to avoid common mistake and to use proven architecture.
There all only positive opinion around internet about spring
implementation.
