Petclinic and other JavaConfig Sample Applications

Spring JavaConfig PetClinic Sample Application

For those that are familiar with Spring's PetClinic application, this sample is functionally identical with one key configuration change: All the XML files are gone! (well, all the Spring XML files anyway - only web.xml remains).

PetClinic comes ready to build via Maven and deploy to Tomcat or any servlet container of your choosing. Also, the project is equipped with Eclipse WTP metadata that will allow for easy deployment to a server instance within your IDE. PetClinic is now bundled with the 1.0.0.M4 release distributable, but in the meantime you can follow the simple instructions below to grab it from source.

The configuration is documented via Javadoc (it is JavaConfig after all...), so read up in the org.springframework.samples.petclinic.config package, starting with PetclinicApplicationConfig. Also be sure to take a look at web.xml to see how the @Configuration classes are bootstrapped.

Please provide any feedback or problems via comments on JIRA issue SJC-76. Thanks!

Simple Maven2-based application configured with JavaConfig

This very basic application demonstrates the bare minimum config with Maven+Spring JavaConfig to get up and running.
