Spring Surf

Project Status: Incubator (what does this mean?)

Welcome to the Spring Surf extension project. Spring Surf is a view composition framework for Spring MVC that plugs into your existing Spring applications. It provides a scriptable and content-centric approach to building web applications.

You can drop Spring Surf right into your existing Spring web applications or you can begin building new Spring Surf applications using SpringSource Tool Suite or Spring Roo's command-line magic.

Spring Surf provides several useful modules for developers, including the following:

  • Surf - A scriptable, content-oriented framework for defining pages, templates, components and layout of a web application
  • Web Scripts - A scriptable, content-oriented framework for building remote REST interfaces
  • Web Studio - A visual design environment for drag-and-drop assembly of Surf pages, layouts and components
  • Sample Sites - Spring 3.0 PetClinic and Spring 3.0 Spring Travel sample sites (built and delivered using Surf)
  • Spring Roo Add-on - A command-driven installation and generation of Surf scripts and configuration for either new or existing Spring projects
  • SpringSource Tool Suite Plugin - Wizards and additional template types for Spring Surf projects
  • PHP and Groovy scripting for Spring Web Applications - Mix and match technologies as required to quickly assemble and delivery your Spring MVC web application
