Effective Spring
Friday - Sep 7 1:15 PM PDT - Salon 1
After almost a decade and several significant releases, Spring has gone a long way from challenging the then-current Java standards to becoming the de facto enterprise standard itself. Although the Spring programming model continues to evolve, it still maintains backward compatibility with many of its earlier features and paradigms. Consequently, there's often more than one way to do anything in Spring. How do you know which way is the right way?
In this session, we'll explore several ways that Spring has changed over the years and look at the best approaches when working with the latest versions of Spring.
