Book Description:Â This book adopts a unique approach to helping software developers and CS students learn Spring frameworks fast. Rather than filled with disjointed, piecemeal samples to show Spring features one at a time, it uses a single, functioning, end-to-end, integrated sample named SOBA (Secure Online Banking Application) to help you learn Spring systematically. To give you total flexibility, SOBA runs on a comprehensive set of combined platforms, such as the OS platforms of Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, the Java App Server platforms of Tomcat, GlassFish, JBoss and WebLogic, and the RDBMS platforms of MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle and SQL Server. The book has evolved through three major Spring releases of 2.x, 3.x and 4.x since 2012. It has been used by many Java developers, training vendors and colleges to teach themselves or their students the innovative way of developing software with Spring frameworks.
Â

Â
* Spring Core Framework
* Spring MVC Web Framework
