Written by the lead developers of the Spring Framework, this authoritative guide shows you not only what spring can do but why, explaining its functionality and motivation to help you use all parts of the framework to develop successful applications. Книга от ведущих разработчков Spring Framework, покажет как правильно использовать всю мощь и функциональность этого фреймворка при разработке Web-приложений.

The perfect, simple answer for your lightweight, alternative J2EE development needs, this book lets you experience a real application being built from the ground up with Spring, using multiple Web views and frameworks.

This is a very good book for learning the Spring MVC framework. While the authors explicitly state that the book is not an introduction to Spring, they do provide a chapter to introduce Spring as a foundation for the remainder of the book. The purpose for each topic is clearly described, with easy to understand examples provided, then some sample code is presented with explanations. In the introduction to the book, the authors describe their “aha” moment, where they first understood the ramifications of using this framework. Their desire to share this feeling shows through in their writing without becoming tiring.

A guide to the lightweight container framework that presents an exciting alternative to EJB J2EE offers Java developers a very powerful enterprise framework. But portions of J2EE can be complicated--specifically Enterprise JavaBeans. By shouldering the burden of J2EE's complexities and providing the developer with a much simple abstraction, Spring makes developing J2EE application significantly simpler. It also provides a viable alternative to EJB, providing many of the same features offered by EJB, but without EJB's complexities. Written for enterprise Java developers who have become disillusioned with the complexity and bulk involved with EJB development, "Spring in Action" demonstrates how the Spring framework can make coupled code easy to manage, understand, reuse, and unit-test. Spring's employment of inversion control and aspect-oriented programming techniques to encourage loosely coupled code is explained, providing programmers with the ability to use JavaBeans with the power and enterprise services only previously available in the heavier Enterprise JavaBeans. Even hard-core EJB fanatics may find some value in this book as the next specification of EJB will more closely resemble Spring than the current EJB specification. Software architects will find Spring in Action valuable in assessing and applying the lightweight techniques prescribed by Spring.

Книга посвящена описанию методов разработки Web-служб - приложений, доступных в Интернете с помощью языка XML и обычных средств WWW. В книге последовательно излагаются все сведения, необходимые для создания Web-служб, рассматриваются средства разработки на языке Java, разъясняются приемы их использования. Приводятся необходимые сведения о языке XML, протоколы SOAP, WSDL, UDDI и другие протоколы и спецификации, применяемые при создании Web-служб. Подробно изучаются пакеты классов Java и прочие инструментальные средства, облегчающие создание приложений. Особое внимание уделено русификации Web-служб.

Agile Java™ Development With Spring, Hibernate and Eclipse is a book about robust technologies and effective methods which help bring simplicity back into the world of enterprise Java development. The three key technologies covered in this book, the Spring Framework, Hibernate and Eclipse, help reduce the complexity of enterprise Java development significantly. Furthermore, these technologies enable plain old Java objects (POJOs) to be deployed in light-weight containers versus heavy-handed remote objects that require heavy EJB containers. This book also extensively covers technologies such as Ant, JUnit, JSP tag libraries and touches upon other areas such as such logging, GUI based debugging, monitoring using JMX, job scheduling, emailing, and more.
