The Spring Framework 2.5

Course: SPRING

Duration: 4 Days

Level: II

Course Summary

This course enables the experienced Java developer to use the Spring Application Framework to create both simple and complex Web applications. Spring is a framework that facilitates all sorts of Java development, including every level of multi-tier distributed systems. We focus on Core and MVC modules, and persistence using DAO and ORM modules. The Core module gives the developer declarative control over object creation and assembly; this is useful for any tier of any Java application. Students will build Web applications that use the Spring MVC framework to translate their designs into coherent request/response cycles. Spring command objects will be used to manage HTML forms and data, and connect these to the validation framework.

What You Can Expect

At the end of this course, delegates will be able to:

Understand the scope, purpose, and architecture of Spring
Use Spring's Inversion of Control to declare application components, rather than hard-coding their states and lifecycles
Use Dependency Injection to further control object relationships from outside the Java code base
Create validators for business objects, and associate them for application-level and unit-testing uses
Build a Web application as a Spring DispatcherServlet and associated application context, with declared beans acting as controllers, command objects, and view resolvers
Build and manage HTML forms with Spring command objects and custom tags
Use Spring interceptors to implement horizontal features in the Web application
Connect business objects to persistent stores using Spring' s DAO and ORM modules
