Spring in Practice

HIGHLIGHT

Interest in and use of Spring continues to grow, so this book comes at a good

time. It covers many interesting problems whose solutions are hard to find.

DESCRIPTION

Spring lets developers build complex applications from loosely-coupled POJOs.

A set of simple abstractions simplifies construction, testing, and deployment

which makes Spring both powerful and easy-to-use. With this power comes the

potential for a wide range of uses in both common and not-so-common scenarios.

That's where Spring in Practice comes in.



Spring in Practice is a problem/solution book in the Manning "in Practice"

series. It shows how to tackle the challenges faced when building Spring-based

applications. The book empowers software developers to solve concrete business

problems the "Spring Way," by mapping application-level issues to Spring-centric

solutions. There are several recurring themes throughout Spring in Practice,

including Spring MVC, Hibernate, and transactions.

For every problem, the book presents the background you need before it offers

the specific steps to solve the problem. You're never left with the feeling that you

understand the answer, but find the question irrelevant. You can put the book

to immediate use even if you don't have deep knowledge of every part of Spring

Framework.

This book assumes you have a good foundation in Java and Java EE. Prior

exposure to Spring Framework is helpful, but not required.
