Product Description

Spring lets developers build complex applications from loosely-coupled POJOs. A set of simple abstractions simplifies construction, testing, and deployment which makes Spring both powerful and easy-to-use. With this power comes the potential for a wide range of uses in both common and not-so-common scenarios. That's where Spring in Practice comes in.

Spring in Practice is a problem/solution book in the Manning "In Practice" series. It shows how to tackle the challenges faced when building Spring-based applications. The book empowers software developers to solve concrete business problems the "Spring Way," by mapping application-level issues to Spring-centric solutions. There are several recurring themes throughout Spring in Practice, including Spring MVC, Hibernate, and transactions.

For every problem, the book presents the background you need before it offers the specific steps to solve the problem. You're never left with the feeling that you understand the answer, but find the question irrelevant. You can put the book to immediate use even if you don't have deep knowledge of every part of Spring Framework.

This book assumes you have a good foundation in Java and Java EE. Prior exposure to Spring Framework is helpful, but not required.
