The Spring framework has an extremely rich set of features that span all tiers of the application. If you are relatively new to Spring you might be wondering which of the many features to focus on; which features to avoid; and how to use the various features together in an application. This talk describes how the Spring framework was used to build an enterprise Java application. We will walk through each tier of the application and describe how the Spring framework was used.
You will learn about how Spring was used to solve various design issues including:
wiring application components together
handling crosscutting concerns including transactions, audit logging, and security
simplifying database access.

Spring Web Services 1.0— Spring Web Services 1.0 provides a flexible, powerful Web services framework by facilitating best practices such as contract-first Web service development, the WS-I basic profile, and loose coupling between contract and implementation, allowing for the creation of flexible Web services using one of the many ways to manipulate XML payloads. By providing developers with a simpler approach to contract-first development, Spring-WS resolves many of the interoperability issues associated with typical Web services approaches.
Spring and Eclipse RCP— Eclipse as a Rich Client Platform is increasingly mainstream. Organizations from NASA to IBM to major banks and airlines have adopted RCP as a core platform for building their applications. In this talk we look at various current RCP usecases and examples and discuss the synergies with Spring.
Spring IDE - Tooling for the Spring Framework— Spring IDE provides support features within the Eclipse platform for Spring Framework development. It gives you useful tools to validate and visualize your bean definitions as well as support while editing Spring Bean defintions with content assist and much more.
Spring Batch— Spring Batch is the only comprehensive lightweight batch framework designed to enable batch development for enterprise systems of varying complexity. Simple as well as complex, high-volume batch jobs can leverage this framework in a highly scalable manner.
Refactoring HTML— As web sites transition from simple content to full-blown, two-way applications the legacy cruft of the past ten years is becoming apparent. There are millions of sites and billions of pages that have been around since the 1990s. Many of these pages were designed for browsers like Netscape 3, Internet Explorer 2, or even Mosaic. They may have been redesigned several times, but the underlying structure and markup remains the same; and this is becoming a problem. These pages don't work well with modern technologies and tools like AJAX, DOM, E4X, JavaScript, and more.
