FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Manning releases Spring in Action
Greenwich, CT, February 21, 2005 - 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 application development. Developers get the power and robust features of EJB and get to keep the simplicity of the non-enterprise JavaBean.
Spring in Action introduces readers 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, the authors demonstrate how to build simple and efficient J2EE applications. They teach readers how to solve persistence problems using the leading open-source tools and how to integrate their application with the most popular web frameworks. Craig Walls is a software developer with over 10 years' experience and co-author of XDoclet in Action [Manning]. He has sucessfully implemented a number of Spring applications. An avid supporter of open source Java technologies, Ryan Breidenbach has been developing Java web applications for the past five years.
Written for enterprise Java developers who have become disillusioned with the complexity and bulk involved with EJB development, Spring in Action demonstrates how the Spring framework can make coupled code easy to manage, understand, reuse, and unit-test.
