In the past few years there has been a proliferation of frameworks that allow for lighter, faster, and loosely coupled Java projects. These frameworks not only let you decouple your Java project from the application server for unit testing, they also allow for more agile refactoring, testing, and design techniques. This article will focus on telling the story of a large-scale refactoring effort implementing Spring and Hibernate as the underlying infrastructure tools. For those living under an abacus Spring is a J2EE framework built to handle many of the plumbing issues on a typical J2EE application. Hibernate is a popular Open Source Java object/relational persistence framework.

BEA WebLogic Server 9.0 is the leading implementation of Sun Microsystems' J2EE 1.4 platform. However, WebLogic Server's core value proposition is in areas not covered by the J2EE specification -- enhanced management, ease-of-use, high availability, scalability, reliability, and performance. Indeed, WebLogic Server's value is not tied to any particular programming model, so it is therefore a natural fit with the new breed of non-J2EE programming models. The most exciting of these to emerge in recent years are models based on Inversion of Control (IoC) -- of which the Spring Framework is the leading implementation. This article introduces features of the Spring Framework, WebLogic Server, and the integration of the two. As we shall see, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

J2EE programming is becoming trickier—much trickier. J2EE has exploded into a complex network of APIs, complicating programming, and configuration. To address some of this complexity, new frameworks and methodologies are emerging. These frameworks rely heavily on a concept called IoC, or Inversion of Control. This article explores some features and benefits of this approach as it relates to, and eases, J2EE programming.

This article presents an Ant task extension that allows the invocation of an IoC (Inversion of Control) managed object or any unmanaged object. It also shows how OGNL (Object Graph Navigation Language) can be used to easily let Ant invoke any method expression, including those with runtime arguments. The use of JUnit to test the Ant extension is also illustrated. In addition, an implementation is shown using the Spring framework. The Ant-IoC combination opens up new possibilities for creating loosely coupled software development support tasks.

In traditional J2EE applications, Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) often forms the cornerstone of an application's architecture. Although Spring provides simpler versions of many of the services provided by EJB, such as declarative transaction management and object persistence, many applications will continue to be built using EJBs for some time. Thankfully, you can still utilize Spring in an EJB-based solution, and in this article, an excerpt from Pro Spring (Apress, January 2005), authors Rob Harrop and Jan Machacek look at how Spring can simplify the creation of EJBs and provide a straightforward, DI-friendly way to access EJB resources.

In this installment of "Mastering J2EE," we'll look at two different (albeit, not mutually exclusive) frameworks that can work together or independently to help you overcome the complexity of accessing persistent data in J2EE applications, specifically: -- TopLink, a powerful object-relational persistence framework that provides object-oriented applications with a highly flexible, productive mechanism to access relational data; -- The Spring Framework, a leading open source J2EE application framework, published under the Apache Software License. Spring provides services for all architectural tiers, but is particularly strong with respect to persistence by providing a consistent approach to data access. As you'll see, Spring's persistence services layer encompasses an implementation of the DAO (Data Access Objects) J2EE design pattern.

"If you have not looked into Spring yet, it is time." That's Rick Hightower's New Year's advice. "As Rod Johnson once put it: Spring puts the OO back in J2EE development," he continues. What makes Spring different than the other frameworks and containers, Hightower explains, is that Spring goes beyond just being an IoC container or an AOP framework.

- Developing Enterprise Web Applications with Cocoon and Spring by Ugo Cei - [Clicks: 157]
Apache Cocoon is a web development framework built around the concepts of separation of concerns (making sure people can interact and collaborate on a project, without stepping on each other toes) and component-based web development. The Spring Framework is a "lightweight" container based on the principles of Inversion of Control and Dependency Injection that aims to reduce the complexity of developing enterprise Java applications. The presentation will focus on how Cocoon and Spring can be used together to provide a powerful web application development. It will demonstrate the usage of best practices (separation of concerns, layering, testability, etc.) and of patterns of enterprise application architecture (Application Controller, Domain Model, Lazy Load, Serialized LOB, Service Layer, Two Step View, Optimistic Locking, etc.) in the context of real-world applications. Using a hands-on approach, it will introduce the following techniques: - Finding and invoking Spring-managed services from Cocoon. - Using Aspect Oriented Programming to provide transparency and declarative transaction management. - Using Object-Relational mappers to bridge the O-R gap. - Streamlining the control flow of web applications with Cocoon's continuation-based Flowscript. - Implementing rich web forms with Cocoon Forms. In the end, we aim to demonstrate how the development of Java enterprise web applications can be made simpler and more effective with the right combination of patterns and Open Source tools.

Spring is a wide-ranging project, including web features, persistence features, AOP features, and traditional app server features like remote access, transactions, and security. This session will introduce Spring and the essential Inversion of Control and Aspect-Oriented Programming concepts, and then cover specific areas of Spring relevant to Java architects and developers. You'll learn how to incorporate Spring into typical J2EE applications, as well as how you could use it in a lightweight environment with only a web container.
