Product Description
Product Description
Spring—the open source Java–based framework—allows you to build lighter, better performing applications. Written by Spring insiders Rob Harrop and Jan Machacek, Pro Spring is the only book endorsed by Rod Johnson, founder of the Spring Framework. At over 800 pages, this is by far the most comprehensive book available and thoroughly explores the power of Spring. You’ll learn Spring basics and core topics, as well as share the authors’ insights and real–world experience with remoting, mail integration, hibernate, and EJB.
From the foreword: “Rob's enthusiasm for Spring—and technology in general—is infectious. He has a wide range of industry experience and a refreshingly practical, common sense approach to applying it. All those qualities come out in this book. It’s evident on nearly every page that it reflects in–depth experience with Spring and J2EE as a whole. Rob is not only an author and open source developer—he is an application developer, like his readers. I firmly believe that the best writing on software development comes out of experience in the trenches, so this is my kind of book.
If you’re new to Spring, this book will help you understand its core concepts and the background in areas such as transaction management and O/R mapping that underpins them. If you’re already using Spring, you will learn about features you haven’t yet seen and hopefully, gain a deeper understanding of those features youre already using.”
—Rod Johnson, Founder of the Spring Framework

Customer Reviews
It's a book suitable for both experts and beginners: it covers with great detail and clarity the basics of Spring (inversion of control, bean lifecycle, aop) as well as advanced subjects like iBatis integration, transaction managment and Spring remoting. What's interesting is that some advanced topics presented here aren't covered at all by other Spring books: "Job scheduling with Spring" (and Quartz), "Mail support with Spring".
The sample application developed in the book is a "Spring Blog"; all the code is clear and well explained, and there are several other example all throughout the book.
Overall, "Pro Spring" is a must-have if you plan to use Spring in your project.
This book's greatest success is in presenting a good working example of each of the technologies included in the Spring framework. I have been using it to get up to speed on Spring and couldn't have asked for a more useful text in that respect.
Generally speaking the descriptions of each of the technologies is accurate, with only occasional failings (inevitable in an 800 page tome) in the proof reading. A few of the technologies are covered in rather less detail than would truly be needed to be a "Pro" in the suite - but I don't see how that could be avoided given that some of them are already very sophisticated in their own right.
Regardless, this is an impressive book and very definitely deserves a full five star rating; don't let my few quibbles put you off - if you need to use Spring you need to buy this book.
Listmania!
