Book Reviews
"Covers all the bases with extensive examples and
explicit instructions...a superbly organized and
fluently written instruction and reference manual."
-- Internet Bookwatch
The book has been through a rigorous early access program, so thankfully
grammar and code errors are all but non-existent. To me, there is nothing
worse than trying to learn a new technology from a poorly written and edited
technical book. Thankfully, Craig, Ryan, and the Manning team have paid attention
to detail and produced a book that I highly recommend."
-- JavaLobby.org
"A complete reference manual that covers nearly every aspect of Spring.
This doesn't mean it is complicated: every explanation is clear and there
are a lot of code examples. ...[it] explains clearly what "Inversion of Control"
and AOP mean and how Spring makes them possible. ...how you can write
services and Daos, and how you can simply implement transaction management
and service remoting. ...the third part talks about the Web layer covering
Spring MVC as well as other technologies and frameworks.
...Overall an excellent resource for any developer interested in using Spring
in his project."

DESCRIPTION
Spring is a fresh breeze blowing over the Java landscape. Based on a design principle called Inversion of Control, Spring is a powerful but lightweight J2EE framework that does not require the use of EJBs. Spring greatly reduces the complexity of using interfaces, and speeds and simplifies your application development. You get the power and robust features of EJB and get to keep the simplicity of the non-enterprise JavaBean.
Spring in Action introduces you to the ideas behind Spring and then quickly launches into a hands-on exploration of the framework. Combining short code snippets and an ongoing example developed throughout the book, it shows you how to build simple and efficient J2EE applications. You will see how to solve persistence problems using the leading open-source tools, and also how to integrate your application with the most popular web frameworks. You will learn how to use Spring to manage the bulk of your infrastructure code so you can focus on what really matters–your critical business needs.
What's inside:
- Persistence using Hibernate, JDO, iBatis, OJB, and JDBC
- Declarative transactions and transaction management
- Integration with web frameworks: Struts, WebWork, Tapestry, Velocity
- Accessing J2EE services such as JMS and EJB
- Addressing cross-cutting concerns with AOP
- Enterprise applications best practices

"While Spring's reference documentation is high quality, this book makes
learning Spring much more enjoyable. The book injects a fair amount of
humor that keeps it entertaining. If you want to learn Spring, you can't
go wrong with this offering."
