- Migrating to Spring by Ethan McCallum - [Clicks: 97]
Sure, everyone's been talking up Spring for the last year or so, but what if your app already uses some other framework, or if you didn't even use a framework and instead rolled your own JDBC and DAOs? Ethan McCallum has a case study showing how he took a web application written for another article and converted it to Spring, highlighting what he gained in the process.

The goal of this tutorial is to demonstrate how basic Spring functionality can be leveraged in a WebLogic Portal application. One use case focuses on page flows and Spring while the other use case focuses on backing files and Spring. In each use case, we show how the same Portal/portlet code is used to interact with different implementation objects accessed using the Spring framework.

Many enterprise Java developers have discovered that Java EE's Enterprise JavaBeans framework causes more problems than it solves. POJOs in Action is a book that identifies these problems and presents an alternative based on plain-old Java objects and lightweight frameworks. In this article, Jeff Friesen reviews this book chapter by chapter.

While preparing a Lucene presentation and workshop I came across Spring Modules. It’s a small set of libraries that do things the Spring-way. It isn’t included in Spring because it doesn’t belong to the ‘core-business’ of Spring. I’m not writing about the possibilities of Spring Modules, I’ll only focus on the Lucene library. Nevertheless it’s worthwhile to take a peek at Spring Modules yourself. Lucene is a very fast and easy to use java based search engine. Spring Modules (SM) hides some implementation details and lets you configure the search engine in XML (like you’re used to in Spring).

Scalability, reliability, and high performance are must-have requirements in modern J2EE applications. Regardless of the type of client, request processing usually involves actions that have a negative effect on performance, such as information gathering from disparate data sources and execution of complex calculations, to say the least. Caching is one of the most essential practices that improve the performance of enterprise applications. Every application has its own caching requirements that must be constantly adjusted to ensure that no performance degradation occurs. Enterprise applications need an easy way to add and tune caching functionality without touching the application's code. This article introduces a code-free caching framework for Spring-based applications, Declarative Caching Services for Spring.

This article introduces Offspring, a Spring-based Web framework extension. It accelerates and simplifies the design and implementation of Web applications by reusing aspect-oriented modules, thereby separating the responsibilities of the software components and hiding the Java Spring specifics from the development process. Extreme flexibility is achieved by combining the generic framework with specialized modules called executors. Examples from the real Website www.whowillbethere.com, which was built on the principles of Offspring, illustrate this proof of concept.

The new EJB 3.0 specification supports some notion of dependency injection via annotations. As an avid Spring user, I'm used to configuring fine-grained beans with Spring bean factories and XML. How does EJB 3.0 compare? More importantly, can we use EJB 3.0 POJOs and Spring POJOs side-by-side in applications? In this article, I'll try to answer those questions based on my own investigations and experiences. As it turns out, using a versatile application server like the JBoss Application Server (AS), Spring and EJB 3.0 POJOs can co-exist in harmony in your applications.
