Product Description
Book Description
Spring - a Java-focused framework - allows developers to build lighter, better-performing applications. At over 800 pages, this is by far the most comprehensive book available; you'll learn Spring basics and all the core topics as well as sharing the authors' insights and real-world experience of Remoting, Hibernate, mail integration and EJB. Written by Spring insiders Rob Harrop and Jan Machacek, it is the only book endorsed by Rod Johnson, Founder of the Spring Framework. Solid content and an inside knowledge of Spring sets this book apart from any other you could possibly find. 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, commonsense approach to applying it. All those qualities come out in this book. It’s evident on nearly every page that it reflects indepth 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 you’re already using." Rod Johnson, Founder of the Spring Framework.

5.0 out of 5 stars The encyclopedia of Spring, 12 May 2005
This book can really be considered the "encyclopedia of Spring". Co-authored by Rob Harrop, a core developer of the Spring framework and author of several books, in its 800+ pages "Pro Spring" it's a comprehensive guide to building J2EE applications.
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good overview of all the Spring technologies., 29 Oct 2005
By D. C. Minter (London, UK.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The one major failing I found was that the book failed to discuss why one would want to use Spring in the first place - much was made of the AOP and IOP paradigms, for instance, but no real effort was made to demonstrate the (debateable) advantages that they convey in comparison to conventional techniques. I would have appreciated such a discussion.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Springtime for AOP, 29 April 2005
This comprehensive tutorial on the benefits of dependency injection is clearly written and smoothly develops the key steps required for an understanding of J2EE without EJB. The only ommission is a section on the integration of Spring with JSF (Java Server Faces).
Excellent book for those wishing to obtain a comprehensive understanding of Spring and its capabilities.
