Paul Furbacher will be presenting a technical overview of Spring, a layered Java/J2EE application framework based on code published in Expert One-on-One J2EE Development without EJB by Rod Johnson.
Spring can be used in any J2EE server, and its layered architecture provides the developer plenty of flexibility as all of its functionality builds on lower levels.
For example, the JavaBeans configuration management can be used without the MVC framework or AOP support.
However, if the MVC framework or AOP support is used, they build on the configuration framework, so that knowledge about it can be applied immediately.
