Speaker Topics - No Fluff Just Stuff

Persistence with Spring

The Spring framework provides beans and services for working with a wide variety of persistent storage mechanisms. This talk will review many of them, from basic JDBC to JPA to the awesome Spring Data generated repositories. Also included will be some discussions about NoSQL databases, including Mongo, Redis, and Neo4J.

Virtually every application requires some form of persistence. As with most Spring-based solutions, the framework provides a wide range of options that can be selected based on your requirements. This talk will cover as many of the major features as possible.
