The Spring Framework is a major open source application development framework that makes Java/J2EE(TM) development easier and more productive. This book shows you not only what Spring can do but why, explaining its functionality and motivation to help you use all parts of the framework to develop successful applications.
You will be guided through all the Spring features and see how they form a coherent whole. In turn, this will help you understand the rationale for Spring's approach, when to use Spring, and how to follow best practices. All this is illustrated with a complete sample application. When you finish the book, you will be well equipped to use Spring effectively in everything from simple Web applications to complex enterprise applications.
What you will learn from this book
* The core Inversion of Control container and the concept of Dependency Injection
* Spring's Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) framework and why AOP is important in J2EE development
* How to use Spring's programmatic and declarative transaction management services effectively
* Ways to access data using Spring's JDBC functionality, iBATIS SQL Maps, Hibernate, and other O/R mapping frameworks
* Spring services for accessing and implementing EJBs
* Spring's remoting framework
Who this book is for
This book is for Java/J2EE architects and developers who want to gain a deeper knowledge of the Spring Framework and use it effectively.
Wrox Professional guides are planned and written by working programmers to meet the real-world needs of programmers, developers, and IT professionals. Focused and relevant, they address the issues technology professionals face every day. They provide examples, practical solutions, and expert education in new technologies, all designed to help programmers do a better job.

Index.
Rod Johnson is the founder of the Spring Framework and a well-known
expert on Java and J2EE.
Rod holds a Ph.D. from Sydney University. Originally from a C/C++
background, he has been involved with Java and J2EE since their
releases as a developer, architect, and consultant.
He is the author of two of the most popular and influential books
on J2EE: Expert One-on-One J2EE Design and Development (Wrox,
2002), and J2EE without EJB (Wrox, 2004, with Juergen Hoeller).
Both have played a major role in the rise of “agile” J2EE, and the
move away from overly complex traditional J2EE architecture.
Rod is co-lead of the Spring Framework. He is a popular conference
speaker and regularly appears at leading Java events in the US,
Europe, and Asia. He serves in the Java Community Process (JCP) on
the expert groups of several JSRs.
He also has wide consulting experience in banking and finance,
insurance, software, and media. He is CEO of Interface21
(www.interface21.com), a consultancy devoted to providing expert
J2EE and Spring Framework services.
He is actively involved with client projects as well as Spring
development. Juergen Hoeller is co-founder of Interface21, the
company providing commercial Spring services from the source. He is
a key driver of Spring development and has been release manager
since Spring’s inception. His special interests and
responsibilities in the project cover a wide variety of topics,
from the core container to transaction management, data access, and
lightweight remoting.
Juergen has a Master’s degree in computer science from the
University of Linz, specializing in Java, OO modeling, and software
engineering. He is co-author of Expert One-on-One J2EE Development
without EJB (Wiley, 2004) and regularly presents at conferences and
other events. He is also active in many community forums, including
TheServerSide.
Alef Arendsen studied computer sciences at the University of
Utrecht. Later, also in Utrecht, Alef started his first company.
After this turned out to be too little a challenge, Alef went to
work for SmartHaven, an Amsterdam-based VCfunded company providing
J2EE components for knowledge management applications. He was
responsible for streamlining the development process and designing
parts of the component infrastructure. In early 2002, together with
Joost van de Wijgerd, Alef founded JTeam, a software company
providing J2EE development services. Alef is a core Spring
committer and, while remaining involved with JTeam, he is now a
consultant for Interface21. He is a frequent speaker at public
conferences. Alef can be reached by email at alef@interface21.com.

Thomas Risberg is a database developer working for TargetrRx, a
pharmaceutical market research company located in Horsham,
Pennsylvania. He has many years of experience working with both
large and small organizations on various database-related projects
ranging from simple data entry programs to large data warehousing
implementations. Thomas is a reformed COBOL programmer who came to
Java via Xbase, Visual Basic, and PL/SQL. He served as an Oracle
DBA for a couple of years but decided that software development was
really where his heart was. Thomas has a B.A. degree in information
processing from the University of Stockhom, Sweden. He is a
certified Oracle Professional DBA and a Sun Certified Java
Programmer and J2EE Architect.
Thomas joined the Spring Framework development team in early 2003
and is mostly involved in evolving the JDBC layer. His
non-computer–related interests are soccer, photography, and
travel.
Colin Sampaleanu has had a long and varied career spanning almost
two decades—after a childhood spent tinkering with computers and
software—including experience developing for and managing his own
retail software company, other years in the C++ shrinkwrap and
enterprise software space, experience with Java since the early
days of the language, and a complete focus on enterprise Java since
the late nineties.
Colin is a currently a principal partner at Interface21, which
specializes in Spring training, consulting, and support. Prior to
joining Interface21, Colin was Chief Architect at a software
incubator / VC.
As a core Spring developer and Interface21 principal, Colin spends
much of his time talking and writing about the benefits of Spring,
and promoting agile software development architectures and
methodologies in general.
