Developing Enterprise Java Applications with Spring Frameworks - An End-to-End Approach (Paperback)

The principle behind writing this text is "what works is what you see." The book uses an end-to-end sample named SOBA (Secure Online Banking Application) as a main vehicle for helping readers learn Spring Frameworks.

Detailed instructions are given on how to build SOBA using Ant or Maven 3 on Eclipse and run it on Tomcat 6 or Tomcat 7 or GlassFish 3.1 or JBoss 7.1 on Windows 7, Linux or Mac X, with one of the three database products of your choice (MySQL, SQL Server or Oracle). It covers not only Spring Core concepts and Spring MVC but also Spring integrations with JDBC, Hibernate, Transaction Management, Data Validation, Security and RESTful Web services. If you do not have enough time to try out SOBA, there is a simpler sample at the end of the book featuring Spring Core, MVC, Hibernate and Maven 3 so that you can learn it perhaps in just a few hours or one day.

Finally, this book is best used in conjuction with the Spring Reference Documentation, which provides detailed information on every Spring feature included in a release.
