Spring Web Flow Jumpstart

Have you ever developed a web application with a long user action based on form input? Did you curse the Java community for their inability to address this very common application type? Well, attend this session about Spring Web Flow and you'll curse no more.

In this session we'll learn about a new(ish) Spring sub-project, Spring Web Flow. Spring Web Flow is an innovative new framework for declaratively modeling web application user interactions. We'll start with an exploration of some web development issues and then take a look at the value proposition that Web Flow brings to the table. Once everyone is comfortable with that, we'll jump straight to code. We'll start by exploring some of the features that SWF has and then we'll finish with a live coding example where the audience will help write the application.
