Modern Spring Development
The Spring Framework has undergone significant evolution since versions 3.0 and 3.1 were released. Now annotations, Java configuration files, embedded databases, and bean profiles are all a normal part of Spring development. This talk will review how Spring expects to be used in its current form, complete with tips and tricks to make Spring development simpler and easier.
Examples will include configuring beans using a combination of XML, annotations, and Java configuration files, using the Spring Expression Language, REST support in Spring MVC, the “p” and “c” namespaces, and more.
