Course Content

Spring is a lightweight Java framework for building enterprise applications.  Its Core module allows you to manage the lifecycle of your objects and the dependencies between them via configuration metadata (either XML or annotations) and Dependency Injection / Inversion of Control.  Its advanced capabilities provide support for JDBC and persistence frameworks like Hibernate (DAO and ORM modules), Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP module), and integration with Java EE Web technologies, security, transactions, and more.

This training course, teaches you how to create Web interfaces using Java technology and Spring. It covers the very latest technologies that are now available to the Java Web application developer, including the JSP Standard Tag Library, JavaServer Faces, the JSP Expression Language as well as JSP architecture, working with JavaBeans, and how to interface with Web services. The training course will be delivered using Eclipse. The training course will also cover the core of the Spring 3 framework as well as the Spring MVC and Spring Web Services modules. Attention will also be given the Spring support for JDBC through the Spring JDBC module.

Key business drivers for using Spring 4.0

• Architect change resilience into your code-base from the ground up, greatly improving development turnaround time and shortening the time-to-value
• Keep it simple! Spring encourages the use of POJOs; simple lightweight Java objects that don't require special coding or configuration, unlike heavyweight solutions like Entity Beans
• Only use what you need, and introduce Spring gradually into existing projects: Spring doesn't force you to use the any part of the framework, just choose the parts you need to solve your problem.
• Spring encourages use of programming best-practices: Integrated testing, coding to interfaces.
• Easily mix and match Spring solutions with Hibernate, EJB, and other J2EE and open source frameworks like Struts.
