Product Description
Product Description
Spring addresses most aspects of Java/Java EE application development and offers simple solutions to them. By using Spring, you will be lead to use industry best practices to design and implement your applications. The releases of Spring 2.x have added many improvements and new features to the 1.x versions. Spring Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach focuses on the latest Spring 2.5 features for building enterprise Java applications.
Spring Recipes covers Spring 2.5 from basic to advanced, including Spring IoC container, Spring AOP and AspectJ, Spring data access support, Spring transaction management, Spring Web and Portlet MVC, Spring testing support, Spring support for remoting, EJB, JMS, JMX, E-mail, scheduling, and scripting languages. This book also introduces several common Spring Portfolio projects that will bring significant value to your application development, including Spring Security, Spring Web Flow, and Spring Web Services.
The topics in this book are introduced by complete and real-world code examples that you can follow step by step. Instead of abstract descriptions on complex concepts, you will find live examples in this book. When you start a new project, you can consider copying the code and configuration files from this book, and then modifying them for your needs. This can save you a great deal of work over creating a project from scratch.
What you'll learn
- Installing the Spring framework and Spring IDE, using the Spring IoC container and the Spring application context.
- Understanding AOP concepts, using classic and new Spring AOP, integrating Spring with AspectJ, and load-time weaving aspects.
- Using Spring to simplify data access (with JDBC, Hibernate, and JPA) and manage transactions programmatically and declaratively.
- Building web applications and portlets with Spring Web MVC and Portlet MVC, and integrating Spring with Struts, JSF, and DWR.
- Understanding the unit testing and integration testing concepts, and Spring's unit and integration testing support (on JUnit 3.8, JUnit 4, and TestNG).
- Using Spring's support for remoting technologies (RMI, Hessian, Burlap, and HTTP Invoker), EJB, JMS, JMX, E-mail, scheduling, and scripting languages.
- Understanding security concepts (authentication, authorization, and access control), and securing web applications using Spring Security.
- Managing complex web application page flows using Spring Web Flow, and integrating Spring Web Flow with JSF.
- Exposing contract-last web services using XFire, and developing contract-first web services using Spring Web Services.
Who is this book for?
This book is for Java developers who would like to gain hands-on experience rapidly on Java/Java EE development using the Spring framework. If you are already a developer using Spring in your projects, you can also use this book as a reference, and you'll find the code examples very useful.
You don't need much Java EE experience to read this book. However, it assumes that you know the basics of object-oriented programming with Java (e.g., creating a class/interface, implementing an interface, extending a base class, running a main class, setting up your classpath, and so on). It also assumes you have basic knowledge on web and database concepts and know how to create dynamic web pages and query databases with SQL statements.

For me what distinguished this book from those is you come away armed with the knowledge of how to exploit Spring fully. You don't get a fragmented understanding of the underbelly of Spring and its technologies. You come away with a sense of knowing how to put it all together to utilise Spring commercially.
The book is comprised of 147 examples spanning nineteen chapters. Each chapters introduced a domain subject area and is expanded upon over the chapter. The format follows the layout of "Problem", "Solution", "How it Works". And each chapter wraps up with a "summary".
For me it's a winning formula and I wish all computer books followed this format. It's packed full of useful examples that can be lifted and applied to real world applications. The best way to learn. It's up to date in it's use of the latest Java syntax such as generics and varargs.
The domain examples are quite substantial and the book will make for an excellent reference.
It's unique selling point include:
1) Coverage of XFire in the web services chapter 16. Not mentioned in the introduction!
2) Coverage of Spring Portlet MVC.
3) Excellent coverage of Spring with JSF.

For anyone wanting to learn Spring I'd recommend this book first, and follow it up with David Whitehurt's E-Book Appfuse Primer published by SourceBeat. This will give you a more meaty full blown example showing how to integrate Spring with a myriad of other technologies. Not quite so up to date as this.
Then follow up with Apress's Spring MVC & Webflow (Ignore the last two chapters on Webflow). Then follow up with Erwin Vervaet's Working with Spring Webflow. (V1 unfortunately. He's got a new book in pipeline by Apress The Definitive Guide to Spring Web Flow that will be V2. Can't wait to see that. But he's another excellent author to learn from. Gives you excellent architectural overview in his first book).
However, let's be fair about this. The book isn't intended to be used as a starting point. I only bought it due to the hysterical review by Mr Flowers. No.. this book is not 'head and shoulders' above other Spring books. For an experienced developer it probably is. They don't want their time wasted with the basics.. they want new information, cunning secret solutions. And this book provides them. In fact it is intended to be a cookbook. Once you know Spring and have used it a bit if you flick through this you'll get a lot from it. If you're a beginner then avoid it and buy Spring in Action or an equivalent.
Listmania!
