Abstract ========

The past two years have seen a growing trend toward lightweight architectures as alternatives to traditional Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) centric architectures. In this approach, application services and domain objects are designed as plain old Java technology objects (POJOs), resulting in fine-grained application components that are reusable and testable outside a container. This can significantly increase productivity and allows easier use of agile processes in J2EE platform development. Key enabling technologies include lightweight containers, such as Spring and HiveMind, and O/R mapping frameworks, such as Hibernate, Java Data Objects (JDO), and TopLink.

This presentation introduces the Spring Framework and its lightweight container architecture, focusing on its powerful Dependency Injection capabilities, the Spring AOP framework, and the popular Spring JDBC technology framework. It highlights Spring's transaction management capabilities - in particular, declarative transactions for plain old Java technology objects - and illustrates data access object design for strategies, such as JDBC technology and Hibernate, which are supported out-of-the-box and integrated in a consistent architectural style. Spring does not compete with J2EE technology-based servers and the core system services provided by them; instead, Spring adds architectural value within J2EE technology-based applications, leveraging J2EE services without coupling application components to a concrete J2EE environment.
