Test-Driven Development with Spring and Hibernate
One of the hardest parts about J2EE development is getting
started. There is an immense amount of open source tools for web app development. Making a decision on which technologies
to use can be tough–actually beginning to use them can be even more difficult.
Once you've decided to use Struts and Hibernate, how do you go about implementing them? If you look on the Hibernate site or the Struts site, you'll probably have a hard time
finding any information on integrating the two. What if you want to throw Spring into the mix? For developers, one of the best ways to learn is by viewing sample apps and tutorials that explain how to extend those applications. In order to learn (and remember) how to integrate open source technologies such as Hibernate, Spring, Struts, and Ant/XDoclet, Raible created AppFuse.
The beauty of AppFuse is you can actually get started with
Hibernate, Spring, and Struts without even knowing much about them. Using test-driven development, AppFuse and its
tutorials will show you how to develop a J2EE web application quickly and efficiently.
