Another
Infoq video presentation has been posted that gives an
Overview of the Spring 3.0 Web Stack. The session was recorded at last October's
SpringOne 2GX 2009 conference and features,
Keith Donald,
SpringSource's web guru. Keith provides some quick notes for viewers:
- The December GA release of Spring 3.0 shipped the additional Spring MVC simplifications predicted in this talk, including:
- A dedicated 'mvc' namespace for simplifying Spring MVC setup
- Automatic registration of type converters based on what is present in your classpath. This includes automatic setup of JSON (Jackson), XML (JAXB), and Joda Time support.
- Support for annotation-driven formatting with @NumberFormat and @DateTimeFormat
- Community members interested in these capabilities can read more in this blog entry. The petcare sample application referenced in this presentation can also be accessed in the Spring Samples SVN repository. This sample app is directly importable & runnable with SpringSource Tool Suite.
