Spring 3x Advanced Topics

Course Summary Description

This course is the next step in using the many features Spring 3.x has to offer. Web topics covering Web Flow and MVC address the powerful features for building popular workflow structures in applications today. Spring Batch addresses the Web counterpart to business processing. The final two topics address all areas in Spring. Security touches all layers of a business application. The newly rewritten Spring Security structure covers all areas addressed down to the Method level. Spring Roo is the last topic that can be used to build entire applications, including Spring MVC. Due to the size of Spring Roo, the depth will depend on available remaining time. The various Spring Integration features of messages will be demonstrated based on student requirements.

Objectives At the end of this course, students will be able to:

 Design, create and debug Spring MVC applications.  Understand Web Flow and where it can be used.  Create, monitor, and test Spring Batch applications.  Apply Security to all levels of Spring applications, including methods.  Use Spring Roo to create Spring applications.  Configure Spring using Java Classes.  Apply Spring Integration options.
