Spring 2.5 - Spring without XML
Spring 2.5 is brand spanking new, with a number of fantastic features. With growth of large and complex Spring applications which struggle with xml manageability and with the added pressure of Guice and SEAM there is a push for less XML, with solution leaning towards annotations. Spring 2.5 adds to the toolset provided in Spring 2.0 to provide a development environment where XML is greatly reduced... or eliminated if you so choose.
The session walks through the new Spring 2.5 enhancements, then dives deep into annotation oriented injection. The demonstrations include standard applications as well as a look at the new Spring MVC.
