Pro Spring

0.0

Learn from a member of the core Spring development team and explore, in detail, the powerful open source Spring framework - a lightweight alternative for building complex enterprise applications. In this book you see how to build web applications using Spring and its integration of Apache Struts, Jakarta Velocity, Jakarta POI and many more. You learn how to replace common EJB features with Spring alternatives, including Spring's comprehensive AOP-based transaction management framework. This book will equip you with the knowledge you need to design and build efficient, manageable applications with Spring. At over 800 pages, this is by far the most comprehensive book available and thoroughly explores the power of Spring. You'll learn Spring basics and core topics, as well as share the authors' insights and real-world experience with remoting, mail integration, hibernate, and EJB. If you're new to Spring, this book will help you understand its core concepts and the background in areas such as transaction management and O/R mapping that underpins them. If you're already using Spring, you will learn about features you haven't yet seen and hopefully, gain a deeper understanding of those features you're already using.” About The Author Rob Harrop is a software consultant specializing in delivering high-performance, highly-scalable enterprise applications.
