What's new in Spring
In this session, I'll lead a guided tour through the latest that Spring has to offer. Whether you're a Spring veteran or a Spring newbie, there will be something new for nearly everyone.
It's been 8 years since Spring 1.0 was released. In that time it has gone from a modest open-source project to being a de facto standard Java application framework. Now, as Spring enters its 8th year, it continues its attack on Java complexity, packed with many new features such as:
- First-class REST support
- A new expression language
- More options for annotation-driven bean wiring
- Bean profiles
- Declarative caching abstraction
- Enhanced Java-based configuration
- A new "c:" namespace
- Unified property management
- And much more
In this session, I'll lead a guided tour through the latest that Spring has to offer. Whether you're a Spring veteran or a Spring newbie, there will be something new for nearly everyone.
