What's New and Cool in Spring's Web Stack?
Come along to a relaxed evening, meet your peers, have a drink on us and mingle whilst learning about the brand new Spring 2.5 MVC and Spring Web Flow 2 features...
Java developers are spoilt for choice when it comes to web frameworks, ranging from roll-your-own servlets through to the AJAX technologies we're seeing everywhere from Google Maps to Facebook. The Spring community enjoys comprehensive integration with over a dozen different web frameworks, such as Struts, JSF, Tapestry, Grails, RIFE, Wicket, GWT and Flex.
Despite so many web framework choices, a significant proportion of enterprise developers use Spring's own web support. This web support has been substantially improved in the recent Spring 2.5 and Spring Web Flow 2.0 releases. Spring's web support now features a long list of new capabilities, such as annotation-based controllers, partial page rendering, conversational state scoping, significant AJAX integration, a brand-new Spring JavaScript library, Spring Security integration, and an unprecedented number of JSF options.
At tonight's presentation, SpringSource's Dr Paul Chapman will delve into the depths of Spring's own web frameworks. Paul will explore the differences between request-response processing and more comprehensive conversational lifecycles, highlighting the different options provided by Spring MVC and Spring Web Flow. He will explain integration between the projects, and show you how to get started with both.
Importantly, Paul will focus on using the new Spring MVC 2.5 annotations and Spring Web Flow 2.0 features, which represent substantial improvements over the previous versions. Paul will also discuss application architecture layering choices available when using these projects.
This is a useful presentation for anyone interested in understanding the new Spring web framework improvements. With a focus on those capabilities added to the most recent releases, this presentation will be of benefit to both existing Spring web users as well as those who have never used Spring's web features before. Attendees will gain the most from this presentation if they have a basic understanding of Spring configuration and basic web application principles.
We're also giving away a hot-off-the-press (June 2008) Spring 2.5 book as a lucky door prize. We look forward to seeing you there!
