Java Spring Framework

Java Spring Framework

Why Java Spring ? Because it's pretty much thought of everything that systems developers might encounter at some point.

Does this project need everything ? No, but it good to know that something is there rather than not know it's there, especially if it's something you will need and don't know it yet. The need for Messaging was a prime example ... some concepts from Enterprise JavaBeans may also be useful, such as deployment descriptors.

Spring helps development teams everywhere build simple, portable,

fast and flexible JVM-based systems and applications.

Build Anything - Write clean, testable code against the infrastructure components of your choice and accomplish any task – without re-inventing the wheel.

Run Anywhere - Keep it portable – Spring-based apps run anywhere the JVM does. Deploy standalone, in an app server, on a PaaS or all of the above ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_Framework

The Spring Framework includes several modules that provide a range of services:

Spring Core Container: This is the base module of Spring and provides spring containers ( BeanFactory and ApplicationContext).

Aspect-oriented programming: enables implementing cross-cutting concerns.

Authentication and authorization: configurable security processes that support a range of standards, protocols, tools and practices via the Spring Security sub-project (formerly Acegi Security System for Spring).

Convention over configuration: a rapid application development solution for Spring-based enterprise applications is offered in the Spring Roo module

Data access: working with relational database management systems on the Java platform using JDBC and object-relational mapping tools and with NoSQL databases

Inversion of control container: configuration of application components and lifecycle management of Java objects, done mainly via dependency injection

Messaging: configurative registration of message listener objects for transparent message-consumption from message queues via JMS, improvement of message sending over standard JMS APIs

Model–view–controller: an HTTP- and servlet-based framework providing hooks for extension and customization for web applications and RESTful Web services.

Remote access framework: configurative RPC-style marshalling of Java objects over networks supporting RMI, CORBA and HTTP-based protocols including Web services (SOAP)

Transaction management: unifies several transaction management APIs and coordinates transactions for Java objects

Remote management: configurative exposure and management of Java objects for local or remote configuration via JMX

Testing: support classes for writing unit tests and integration tests

The Spring IO platform includes Foundation Layer modules and Execution Layer domain-specific runtimes (DSRs). The Foundation layer represents the core Spring modules and associated third-party dependencies that have been harmonized to ensure a smooth development experience. The DSRs provided by the Spring IO Execution Layer dramatically simplify building production-ready, JVM-based workloads.
