May 2008 Meeting

WHEN: Wed 14th May 2008 - 6.00pm
WHO: Paul Chapman
WHAT: Spring 2.5: Enhanced productivity and production power
WHERE: PeopleBank offices, 7-9 Moore Street, Canberra City

Description

Spring 2.5 continues its established theme of simplicity and power, offering a range of new capabilities that support developers building large, complex, mission-critical enterprise applications. In this session, Paul will be exploring a subset of the new capabilities present in Spring 2.5, along with some of its sister products that have recently been released. Aimed at existing Spring users, this session will introduce new capabilities including automated component scanning, expanded annotated metadata services, and the considerable advancement of convention over configuration in Spring’s web framework.

Whilst these improvements considerably enhance the productivity of application developers and lower long-term maintenance cost, Spring 2.5 also significantly improves the production and runtime experience. Paul will demonstrate some of these production runtime enhancements, including OSGi bundle support and the new Spring Advanced Management Suite (AMS).

Paul’s session will be intensely demonstration oriented, focusing on refactoring an existing Spring 2.0 application to leverage the new Spring 2.5 capabilities. As such, the session will clearly communicate how these improvements reduce the amount of both Java code and XML now required, plus provide solid guidance for attendees on how to approach upgrading their existing Spring 2.0 applications.

As ususal the meeting will start at 6pm at PeopleBank offices, 7-9 Moore Street in Canberra. See you there. Put it in your diary NOW!
