Spring 2.0: New and Noteworthy
Spring 2.0 has marked a major advance in the Spring Framework. While still maintaining backwards compatibility, this release adds quite a few new features. What are those features and how do they add value? Come by and see.
In this session we'll provide a practical tour of what's new in Spring 2.0. Spring 1.x users who are looking to upgrade to Spring 2.0 will love this session. If you're not using Spring already, this talk will give a great overview of the things you're missing out by not using Spring 2.0.
The talk will highlight new configuration strategies, Spring AOP, bean scoping, JPA support, JMS improvements, new Spring MVC features, VM languages, and much more.
